[Mplayer-dvb] Patch for dvbscale of mplayer

[Arpi]

Hi,

> from VDR which are 480x576 (and are meant 4:3 ;-) 

the dvbscale was made for avi files.
for mpegs (like vdr files) it has no sense to re-encoding them, why don't
you play them using the card's decoder ?

anyway the problem is only that dvbscale plugin uses the original resolution
instead of teh prescaled (to correct aspect) resolution.

is TV screen 5:4 or 4:3 ?
maybe changing aspect constant from 768 to 720 (or 704) woudl be better
solution.

as you use only the X value from the dvbscale (expand=0:576) it ignores
others.
