Maintain Aspect in MPV (1 Viewer)

I'm having an issue with the rendering of video in mediaportal. The issue comes down to these facts:
1) analog tv is 4:3, and should be, and I want to maintain that aspect
2) movies are typically *not* 4:3, more like 16:9 or higher, and whatever that is, i want to leave aspect alone

Then it comes time to pick a renderer, and the following seems to be true:
1) mpv codec quality is very good/smooth in mediaportal, but it takes on whatever aspect the window is set to
2) dscalar codec quality is not very good in mediaportal, but it preserves the aspect, and indeed there is a config option to do so

My questions comes down to: Can I configure mpv to maintain aspect like dscalar will?

For comparison, toss in the following fact:
1) mptvclient -->vlc tv rendering DOES combine the above features (good quality + aspect preservation)

So I know the "software" on my client "can" render quality and maintain aspect, but I probably just haven't found the checkbox for it.

same problem here ;-)

MPV codec itself has aspect ration bug. That should be fixed in the codec side.

Solved using ffdshow codec.
