Hi DeXT, nice to see you posting to our list again ! Where are you mate ?

WMP 6.4 doesnt do any resizing, it simply uses the 'render media' function
to play media files, saem as what Graphedit would do.

The MPEG2 decoder filter reads the AR flag in the MPEG2 stream and does the
resizing by calling corresponding width and height of picture ( resizing is
done by DirectShow automatically ).
