i've been thinking about devices like the new kiss-dvd-player and if we should adjust our ar-settings if we want to play our movies with such a device.
afaik the kiss-player more or less is a linux-pc, a computer with tv-out.
IMO any tv-out system has to assume that computer-pixels are square and take care of their correct display on tv.
i have no idea how an 800x600 pixel computer display is converted for tv-out on an interlaced PAL-TV e.g.(but i guess it has to be a quite rude conversion), anyhow - the tv-out system has to take care of correct ar.
in case of formats like avi we should provide square pixels and nothing else, let tv-out do the conversion.
of course we would get MUCH BETTER QUALITY if we would provide a format that fits the tv-system, something like a PAL-mpeg4-dvd/svcd (with not square pixels). i guess mpeg4-svcd could be really nice.
does anybody know if any standards like that do exist?
