... Now: My TV set does the same, but uses some clever algorithm that leaves the center of the picture almost untouched while stretching the area close to the border (left&right) most. This is a very acceptable compromise for most shows on TV. Is there any tool (command line tool preferred, as it should work as part of existing scripts) that would let me apply the same effect when encoding for the N800? I looked around but didn't really find anything for GNU/Linux.
