Aspect Ratio problem

[polen]

Problem with Beta v6

I have a wide screen tv and I set the Display Aspect Ratio to 16x9 and the Aspect Ratio Mode to Source. All my HD content is displayed in 4x3 format. SD content is correctly displayed as 4:3.

The default Aspect Ratio of Fill stretches my SD content and HD is correct. I don't like to stretch SD content. I like my aspect ratio true to original.

What's your desktop resolution?

I just got an email back from support and they said it will be fixed in the next release.

This problem is due to the content coming from a network encoder.

You can work around it for now by setting up your network encoder as a 'Digital TV Tuner' input instead of a 'TV Tuner' input. It just needs to use input type 100 instead of input type 0 in it's encoder properties.

I'll try that.

Under Source Details, Input Type I have 1394 selected. In the Sage.Properties file I don't see an Input Type setting in the mmc/encoder sections.

Do I need to add a line under the mmc/encoder sections of the sage.properties file?

Thanks,

Glad I found this, it was driving me nuts! In fact I thought I was going looney!!

Now will this change (and eventual fix in the next version) correct this issue:



Notice the Format line, I am not sure why it says MPEG-2PS (its in fact a TS), but the problem is the 4:3 480i. The show is actually HD (HD-Lite actually) 1280x1080i resolution, 16:9 with a pixel aspect ratio of 3:2 (which is how they get 1280 lines to fill an entire 1920 display). Actually most of my HD recordings are showing this, regardless of 1280x1080i, 1440x1080i or 1920x1080i (but I have at least one 1920x1080i that reports itself as MPEG-2TS, 16:9 1080i).

1. None of my recordings have "format." Where is that coming from?

2. Not to bite the hand that feeds, but why on earth would you say, "Oh, just set the input type to 100," and then not say how to do it?

My network encoder says "1394" and there doesn't seem to be a way to switch it.
