[QUOTE="osen, post: 229562, member: 66244"] Hi all, my first post here :) I just got a Samsung Q97 42" plasma with a resolution of 1024x768. I've set aspect ratio to 4:3 in ffdshow to correct the non-square pixel problem on plasmas with this resolution. It works just fine with .mkv and .avi etc, but when I choose ffdshow for DVD playback Mediaportal won't use it. I know this because I use the TV as secondary screen connected to my 8800GT, and the ffdshow icon does not appear in the system tray when playing DVDs. This results in wrong aspect ratio in MP. The only solution I've found is to use "Stretch" aspect ratio in MP, but that results in bad quality. I've added ffdshow under DVD Postprocessing in MP Config, but that doesn't help. Any ideas? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
