(oops, I didn't realize when I installed the new version it set me back 
to mplayer2.exe instead of my mplayerc.exe... Which doesn't have those 
options when it streams.)

But anyways, no dice with the latest version of MPC and todays cvs of 
dsmyth. There is something wrong with it and aspect ratios. If I full 
screen 4:3 with "keep aspect ratio" it stretches it to 16:9 and stretch 
to screen enabled. And if I open 16:9 it keeps it at 4:3 unless I full 
screen... (which almost works but but its doing some weird zoom on it 
even though all of that is turned off). The only way I can keep 4:3 
content working right is by stretching to touch inside, and 16:9 is 
impossible to get right with this version of dsmyth.

With the stable version, all of this worked. Also, media player classic 
is also working fine with files on my hard drive in different formats. 
(avi, mpg, etc) So I guess I'll just wait for another days snapshot in CVS.
