That might explain the option to "let program pick" on our converter
boxes. But it only sometimes works on PBS. Sooo, guess that's another
standard they decided not to use.

If you want to limit the plugin to using only the hardware then I
agree. However, if you want to provide capabilities beyond what the
hardware is capable of then software is the only other place to do it.
This is perfectly fine, although it probably means the user wasted
his money on a hardware d
You _could_ write some functions to detect and remove letterboxing,
though I don't know anyone motivated enough to actually do it.
The main goal of the pvrinput-plugin is to use the hardware encoder.I
think it
is a bad idea to do software-based on-the-fly-recoding.

Ahh, analog source & encoding. There won't be any mpeg headers and so

My local stations here in the US are doing the reverse on all primary
atsc channels. They add bars to the side for anything that is not wide
screen to make it wide screen. So 4:3 stuff on my 4:3 tv are in a little
window because the software then adds bars top and bottom to put it back
to 4:3 :

Hi Everyone
My machine has (among others) a PVR-500 dual-channel analog card and I'm
running vdr-1.6.0 with pvrinput-2008-07-05.
Doesn't matter which aspect ratio I choose, every channel under the PVR-500
displays with black (cinema) bars on the top and bottom of the image.
