Re: [ot] Setting screen res for a mac mini and Hyundai A321

[Wayne <Wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hiya Phil,
you might have something here :) - I've just checked the film with VLC
and its being reported as 1280x528 - that sounds a little more than 16:9
- which may well explain why the close ups looked like something out of
'cone heads' when its set to fill the screen :)

I think having the correct res (and from that the aspect ratio) would
help in displaying media correctly and not have 'so thicker' bars at the
top and bottom...

The office has 'borrowed' its mac mini back at the min (!) so I wont get
chance to play again till the weekend :)

Cheery
Wayne.
