Bug Description

I think the video size indication is a bit vague. 1:1, 5:6, 2:3 and 1:2 doesn't tell me much. Is that the size related to the size of the screen? To the original size? If so, is the original size really that important?

I think that telling the user the final video dimensions -in pixels- would help them get the idea much more efficiently.

I agree. I just pushed a fix that displays the pixel dimensions instead, which will be included in 0.2.2.

However, part of the reason that I used the ratio is that I will eventually move these settings to a separate dialog, and just use these globals settings rather than per-title settings. Because not all DVDs are the same pixels dimensions (e.g., PAL vs NTSC), and because I think there is a chance that maybe not even all the titles in a given DVD will be the same pixel dimensions... listing the pixel dimensions doesn't make sense.

But in the meantime, as long as I am using per-title settings, it is much clearer to use the pixel dimensions.

Thanks for the feedback. ;)
