My Panasonic G15B Profile - help needed
First of all the TV's Spec.
------------------------------
PANASONIC G15B (2009 model) only supports MPEG-2 (PS format) and DivX over DLNA.
Furthermore, DivX files support...
* Extension: "*.divx" and "*.avi"
Video
- Image Resolution: upto 720 x 576 pixels
- Codecs: DivX3, 4, 5 and 6
- Frame rate: upto 30 fps
Audio
- Streams: upto 8
- Format: MP3, MPEG and AC3
- Multichannel AC3 possible; MPEG multi is 2 channel conversion
My Profile (so far)
-----------------------
Reasons for some of the <video> parameters...
aBitrate="128" was added as higher values seem to end up with no audio.
maxVBitrate="17000" was added as one movie (Promethius) peaked over 50,000kbps (about 8 mins in), which caused major stutters.
DAR="16:9" made stargate SG-1 episodes display correctly. Otherwise, the right hand side of the TV image was like it had been stretch to fit screen. However, when this parameter is added another movie suffers from the same effect. It plays OK without the DAR parameter.
It is here I need some help. I think it is due to the Aspect Ratio or Bits/(Pixel*Frame) of the affected movies but cannot work out how to differentiate between them so the DAR parameter can be selectively applied. Here are the details of two affected movies/series...
1 Stargate SG-1 - Stretched image (about 25%) on right hand side without DAR parameter. Works OK with it.

2 The Expatriate - Works OK without DAR parameter. Stretched image (about 25%) on right hand side with DAR parameter.
