[QUOTE="illStyle, post: 155192, member: 24418"] This is not a very good solution if I got you right. You want the TV to automaticaly zoom up a 4:3 letterboxed image. This would result in a qualitiy loss as you lose like 30% of the PAL resolution. The second thing is, it is not the same thing as if your TV stretches a 4:3 movie to fit the screen. As a 16:9 CRT TV has the same resolution as a 4:3 CRT TV you can't display a 4:3 movie on a 16:9 in full PAL resolution if you want to keep the aspect ratio, you have to stretch it.

I'm trying to find a guide but I'm afraid it is in german. [/QUOTE]
