Since my modified dvbscale patch all getvidxy() isn't necessary anymore in 
mplayer.sh - however you're right ntsc videos are not treated properly :-(
I guess changing the dvbscale patch is no problem at all - i must first have a 
look at the fps in mplayer ... But the external call (expand=-1:576) pushes 
everything to 576 lines :-/
So, best would be, if i can manage to add some more changes to the dvbscale 
stuff, making it autodetect the fps and expanding to the appropriate height 
value ...
Doesn't sound too hard on the first look - time will tell ...
