Change the resolution to the one that says 'Fullscreen'.

How was your movie playback at that setting?
The reason I ask is that mines not watchable (see my thread -http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=39106 )

no, not really - oddly I no-one left their settings either, which would have been a great starting place to troubleshoot from.
Oh well...

I'm having trouble playing xvid 624x352 files. I'm getting stretched content horizontally, with bars on the top & bottom.
Here's the setup:
On a clean install of XMBC on the AppleTV 2.2, from the ATVusb-creator, then ran a XMBC loader update, then a XMBC update to Atlantis Beta 2.
I'm on a 1080i TV setting for the ATV. I launch XMBC for the first time, and it's this tiny window. So, after figuring out that it's the Resolution setting and where that lived, I set it to Fullscreen.
Great! We now have a full size image, and it's not tiny.
I've set up my NAS SMB mount, and it will play xvid files nicely.. but doesn't do the right thing with scaling.
Is the XMBC supposed to do a better job of scaling things? Or should I just set the default movie mode to something else?
Have folks come up w/ the optimum settings for your generic 624x352 xvids? (That's a pretty standard resolution from various sources, including EZTV, etc.)

not sure, still trying to figure out my issue i had similar problems, in that when i loaded xbmc for the first time i had the tiny screan but my xvids,img, etc files will play smoothly. since i change it to full screan everything comes through choppy the video is choppy (about 10 seconds) behind the audio. still trying to figure out what wrong, since i dont see alot of users complaing about this problem.
