Set Video size at 100% of original (for 1:1 pixel mapping)

And also ability to set a specific pixel size.

Also:
- Use of the automatic aspect ratio signal that some stations send out.
- Ability to set channel specific apsect ratio setting: 4:3, 16:9, auto (for those sending that aspect ratio signal)
- Detect and cut out blackbars so that 4:3 signals with 16:9 image+blackbars, can fill fullscreen on widescreen monitors.

you have the option to set sizes in the options

you can set to 4:3, 16:9, 16:10

It doesnt remember the aspect/fill setting for each channel/preset, and it doesnt automatic switch the aspect ratio for those channels that support that.

Is it possible to resize the buttons and text in the menu's to be better suited to viewing on a large (i.e 40-50") HD1080 screen?

I can't read any of the menus or the TVGuide without getting off the sofa.

I was gonna do a large button theme... Planned it in my head to do it light grey and dark grey buttons .. and spaced out ..

-Feature for manually setting the bitrate and the codec (choosing from those installed in your computer) while recording a video.

[Mr X]

you can do this already.

changing size would involve editing the skin.xml file

i started by doing basic changing

my next idea is an areo glass styled theme for windows vista/7 users

my theme(still working on it)

AFAIK no.
You can choose a custom DEcoder (even if the window says ENcoder, it shows only a list of decoders, in fact by choosing ffdshow I can only DEcode the DVB video), and 4 bitrate presets (in Folder tab) (which have some issues, please read my recent thread in Wintv7 section about this and other questions). The recorded video still is a MPEG .ts file (let's say I'd like to record in AVI x264 at... 800kbps).

P.S
Decoding video with ffdshow cuts cpu occupation by 5%.

Either the received signal is already encoded (DVB-transmissions) or, in most cards, the received signal is encoded by hardware to MPEG2.

For the DVB-transmission there is absolutely no idea to re-encode, they are saved as they are.
For the on-the-fly encoded I guess they could add an option but do not see why. Keep it simple (or add it in an advanced setting dialogue) .

If you wish to have it in another format you may re-encode it to whatever format you wish. There exist a number of tools that can take a TS och MPG file and re-encode it.

[flapane]

Sometimes you need to save space, so you could use x264 features at low bitrates. I would have liked to do this on the fly, without using an external software.
Otherwise you could at least manually choose the .ts bitrate, but there are only 4 presets.
