I have my monitor (actually it's my TV, I'm running XFree86 on a tv-out) set to 720x480 resolution, and I have noticed that when I play a DVD with xine, the playback window is larger than 720x480. Mind you, this is not overscan. Xine actually opens a window larger than the display. If I set the video window to full screen, the image is smaller than normal! The same thing happens when I use the --geometry flag to set the video window to 720x480. Why is this? I thought native DVD resolution was 720x480. Is there any way to fix this? |

I take it nobody knows this one? Xine is clearly playing DVDs at a resolution higher than 720x480. My suspicion is that the video window is actually 800x600 but I have no way to measure it. In a way, this would make sense, because 720x480 isn't actually a 4:3 aspect ratio. Can anyone confirm this? Does anybody know what's actually going on here?
