Don't you mean 4:3, not 1:1? Also, what kind of display are you
using? Is it a widescreen TV, or is it something like a computer
monitor? Also, does the XviD file happen to have an erroneous aspect
ratio coded into it (MPlayer can do those things)? Does this happen
with other files? Does this happen only with XviD encoded files?
no, they're 1:1 encoded xvids. I'm playing it back at 1280x720
(16:9) for my
TV. they playback fine using mplayer on the Myth machine (because
it doesn't
try to change the aspect ratio) and on XBMC(same reason). There is
no aspect
ratio coded in to the avi as when I play it back in mplayer the
aspect ratio
comes up as the w/h=2.35 the proper aspect ratio.
That's wrong. 16/9=1.77777777778, not 2.35.
But, judging from what's been said, It sounds to me like MythTV is
telling MPlayer to change the pixel aspect ratio from 1:1 (which is
what you want) to 16:9. I guess you need to go into your video
playback settings and make sure all pixel aspect ratio options are
disabled.
This might not be a proper solution, but try remuxing the file as a
Matroska file, and tell it to use the 4:3 aspect ratio on the video
track. Maybe MPlayer will read that and display it properly.
nope, cause only the internal player is forcing it to be played
back at 16:9
