Just wondering if anyone has a solution to forcing svideo input recordings to be 16:9 aspect rather than 4:3. I know I can adjust the aspect ratio when viewing but I'd like to have my recordings all stick to 16:9 as this is the aspect I use for my satellite service.

Currently what I do is record in mpg format, then manually use DVD Patcher (DVDPatcher) to adjust the headers in each file. While this is not a difficult task I'd love not to have to do it so that I can truly make use of comskip etc for post processing automagically. DVD Patcher doesn't include command line tools so this wouldn't work.

I'm not sure whether the settings I'd be looking for are to be found somewhere in MP or within the Hauppauge drivers or elsewhere, so any assistance here would be truly appreciated.

Steve
