I just got my new master backend/frontend loaded today (Athlon 64 3200 venice, 1 gig of RAM, geforce 5200 ultra, DCT6200/firewire, etc.), and when I watch anything that is HD widescreen, the sides of the video are cropped off about 15% to the left and right of the screen.

I am using a 33" Princeton SVGA monitor (800x600) as my display, and no matter what I do, I can not get widescreen HD video to fit on the screen at all. Cycling through the various aspect ratios and overrides with the W key will never fit the entire image on the screen (it is always cropped on the sides), and using the manual zoom mode produces more interesting issues, like when zooming out, instead of shrinking the entire video image, it just does a growing 4 sided letterbox portal that moves in relation to the video image.

It seems like it is shrinking 1920x1080 video to fit on a 1024x768 screen, and I am looking at that shrunken image through an 800x600 portal. I have every setting overridden with 800x600 any place I could find it in the various settings for myth, but nothing seems to happen. I had used it at 1024x768 with all default settings before I reduced the resolution to fit on my SVGA monitor, but I couldn't think of a setting, except maybe one buried deep in the database that would have stuck or affected this. Any ideas? Thanks.

You can use 'W' to cycle thru and correct this....

That's what I meant by "Cycling through the various aspect ratios and overrides with the W key" and it didn't fix the cropping, neither did zooming manually. It seems its drawing the video to a frame larger than 800x600, but my viewport is only 800x600...akin to sticking a 4x6 picture into a 3x5 picture frame.

Yes I did...I had to take out any line that my SVGA monitor wouldn't handle (anything > 800x600x60Hz) -
