Hi Paul

I am also having some odd aspect ratio results on my Bravia KDL32EX600.

I seem to think it has something to do with what FFMPEG is reporting. The following is the output from FFMPEG for one of my files:

I am sure that in previous versions of FFMPEG the Aspect Ratio was "corrected" to for example 16:9, which is what the above comes to (approx).

When you have a patch or a fix I would love to try it as well.

Even though this file is in 16:9, when played on my Bravia I get black lines at the top and bottom.

BTW, I notice that the transcoded format has changed again for the Bravias... It was M2TS, and is now MPG?
