Thanks. And can you tell me what the default resolution is? Mine was set to 640x480, which looks like crap on my widescreen plasma. The fonts were all stretched. I assume because of the different aspect ratio. Maybe if the default is going to be something other than "Desktop" it should default to a value that is the same aspect radio of the user's screen.

Or better yet, instead of specific resolutions, just let the user choose between Low, Medium, and High. Each of those values would represent a resolution that is the same aspect ratio as their screen when playing back videos. Then add a Highest option and make that the desktop resolution. The specific resolution isn't going to mean anything to your average user. Heck, I consider myself an advanced user and I don't really get it. The subtitles look the same to me on all resolutions as long as I pick a widescreen one.
