I think you're spot on. Real 16:9 broadcasts are slowly becoming reality on the three public nets we have in the Netherlands. The commercial channels like RTL 4 and such do not broadcast in 16:9 at all. Most of their content is 4:3, but some of that (mostly series) is 16:9 content, scaled or cropped to 4:3 adding black bars. > Maybe the solution is to toggle SoftDevice's cropmode behaviour from > "reduce image to fit on the screen, adding black bars" to "expand the > image, without bothering with lost parts of the image, which happen to > be black bars". Thats what I meant with zooming the picture , in stead of cropping. If soft device could zoom the picture up to the point that the added black bars are gone, I'd be happy. As a reference, this link describes the mythtv zooming: http:// www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Aspect_ratio I'll try to record some "evidence" later this night.
