Thanks for the help.

I'm not completely sure. I let Minimyth determine the initial  
settings. That gave me the GUI hanging off the end of the TV screen,  
but the decoded movie image fitting to the TV screen exactly (I find  
that so strange: what in the system can know what part of the X screen  
is visible on the TV and scale the decoded movie image exactly to it?)

I then used the wizard thing to resize the GUI, but didn't check the  
box that said scale the playback image too. The GUI changed size as  
hoped to fit the TV, and the playback image stayed scaled to the TV.

Cheers,
   Paul.
