TV tuners usually include their own scaling hardware, and they draw directly into the video output. Hence the difference. The best solution would be to define a video mode at the same size as the AVI files you are playing. I have special modes I use for playing DVDs, for example, to match the resolution and frame rate of most films. -jwb
