the problem im having is that i currently use a dell 2405fpw widescreen monitor and watching tv through my capture card doesnt get displayed in the correct aspect ratio, i use christv which allows the use of ffdshow by which i can change to the right aspect ratio

however i also use ffdshow as my main codec for watching videos in zoom player so the problem arises when switching from christv to zoom player and vice versa, with the former requiring me to resize to 5:4 aspect ratio while the latter doesn't

so is it possible to have separate settings for each program, or if not, is there a workaround without resorting to having to install a bunch of separate codecs just for zoom player?

Yes. In ffdshow configuration, Image settings you can have different presets and autoloading under different conditions (of which application exe is one option).
