HydraVision Users: Is there anyway to maintain aspect ratio when using the TV as a second monitor?

[RedShirt]

Hey everybody. I recently picked up a Ati Radeon 7500 and I must say I am impressed with everything you get for a small amount of money. However, I have ran into a small snag. When I watch AVI files that are not a perfect 4:3 aspect ratio, they get scrunched on my TV. This does not happen when I make both the Monitor and TV have the same picture(or refresh rates, whatever you wanna call it...), but I love being able to have something play on the TV and still work on my computer. Is there anyway to maintain the aspect ration on the TV?

Thanks.

You might try a different player than ATI's. I think I had the same problem as you a while back with the AIW, but Im not sure. Try out different programs and see if they all have the same problem.

It still doesn't work. I've tried the Playa, ATI's Stuff, PowerDVD, and WMP, all do exactly the same thing.

I think this might have been a weakness of HydraVision that both "outputs" have to be at the same resolution.

Hydravision allows different resolutions/refresh rates, but not in Win2k.
