Thanks for the input. It would certainly be useful to have a standard (and supported!) way to specify PAR, though my own experience with... shall we say, less enlightened users (: has been mixed. Granted, this is not recent experience, so even Microsoft may have improved in the meantime. >These are the only players I tested with.

This may be a limitation of MPEG-2; IIRC, you can only specify the DAR, and you're limited to predefined values (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 2.21:1). --Andrew Church [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://achurch.org/
