Thing is, 16:9 videos used to work when I first got my N900 in Feb. Somewhere between the PR changes, OC kernels and tweaks, they stopped working. I can get them to work by using PAL on some NTSC LCD TVs or as you said by recording in 4:3.

We shouldn't have to forgo widescreen recordings. 800x480 recording was one of the main N900 advantages at release. Nokia or someone, needs to fix the TV out issue OR maybe the technical side community could identify the problem and formulate a resolution.

What good is have widescreen recording that cannot be used on the TV....
