Thanks.  You already talked me through how the table works and I have
made up some trial command lines, etc.  I came across the problem trying
to make a "high quality" dvd rip, and I was comparing my options against
the existing lines for NTSC which don't seem to do a resize

Basically I just wondered if anyone actually knew how to pass transcode
the options for aspect ratio.  I will continue fiddling with transcode
when I next get some time.  If I can figure it out then I will work it
back into mythdvd

Thanks
