The width and height I suggested are (according to wikipedia) NTSC dvd standard - so try those. Also I assume the content is interlaced and using 480 height will mean you can keep the interlacing.

According to synaptic, what I have is the latest version for my Ubuntu 9.04. 2:1-.0~rc2-0ubuntu19 But it was worth a try, thanks. -- Davey.
