Actually, When NTSC is sent as CCIR-601 or CCIR-656 then it comes down as

Can you be more specific? As far as I know, NTSC and PAL are equally capable of square pixels. A typical computer-generated NTSC display is 640x480, and a typical PAL display is 768x576 or 800x600. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
