Use 'a' to change the aspect ratio.  The dxr3 and hollywood+ are mostly
the same (same mpeg decoder, etc) but possibly have different tv
encoders.  I have a hollywood+ and it works fine.  However, you can't do
simultaneous overlay and tvout like you can with the dxr2.

It's being worked on using ogle's libdvdread.  See http://dvd.sf.net
I don't know what the current status is and none of it has been tested
with the dxr3 yet AFAIK.

As far as OMS goes, its plugin interface was changed and the dxr2
plugin wasn't updated to match it.
