This is really disappointing. We can't play any video with other proportion than 4:3 in NTSC (Neither N900 Recorded, Downloaded from Internet or recorded with another digital camera).

And TV's around here can't display propperly in PAL. This bug has been there since a lot of time and doesn't seems to be any workaround. There was an other thread where somebody suggested tweaking something to make the server believe it was playing on PAL while on NTSC, but it didn't worked.

BUG is here
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10877

Will try to get a log, if there is anything useful, when I get time...

I just threw a note into the bug, which has been closed as "worksforme." I guess it works when set to PAL but not NTSC. That leaves all of us in the USA in the lurch. Lovely.

Doesn't work for me!

Same issue here. Videos recorded in 16:9 on N900 will not display on NTSC TV. Video will display when output set to PAL but at really bad quality.

OK. So it's obvious there's still an issue. I'm going to do some testing and try to get some logs then I'll open a new BUG, unless someone else wants to.

Even better, videos recorded at 16:9 do now work, no need to record using "Fine 4:3". Check out the TV Out Control widget, as mentioned above.
