I notice this gets sent every so often during DVD playback and the pld1 contains information on the position or aspect ratio.

Can someone tell me the meaning of each of the numbers as they are ordered.

Some are obvious others less obvious

I want to use this to auto position my automated masking system based on aspect ratio for 16:9 and 2:35 material.

My Resolutions is 1440x960 for NTSC and 1440x1008 for Pal


thanks Rick

The numbers are window width, window height, window left, window top; destination width, destination height, destination left, destination top; source width, source height, source left, source top. The readme file actually says this in its big table of possible events.

Hopefully this will be enough information for you to use. Different players do full screen mode differently when the aspect ratio does not match that of the display. Some make an odd sized video window, leaving some overlay showing through below. Others make the video window match the window and fool with the DirectShow destination rectangle. It should be evident which TT does (I'm sorry that I don't remember).
