if you use 720x576 do you then zoom the picture on your TV or use the 16x9 option
I'm not really sure what you are asking.

The homebrew lead always has widescreen switching enabled via the SCART so the picture is always autodetected to be widescreen by the TV. The Windows desktop fills a widescreen CRT TV and is not skewed or stretched.

If I am watching a 16:9 broadcast via the Nebula then everything is hunky-dory, if I am watching a 4:3 broadcast then the 4:3 picture is stretched across the widescreen of the TV and I have to force my TV into 4:3 mode with the TV remote "aspect" button ( I have asked the Nebula team to consider adding a new feature to automatically pad a 4:3 broadcast with vertical black bars either side so it fits in the 16:9 frame without being stretched )

Watching DVDs using ZoomPlayer is fine - it puts the required black bars into 4:3 DVDs and I don't have to override the TV aspect ratio manually.

Is that what you are asking ?
