Also note that it is common for people to purposely overscan with the zoom. For instance if someone has a 2.40 or 2.37 screen they may zoom a little extra so that when playing a 2.35 movie there is not a little border left. So this means you may not want to use absolute perfect positioning because it could be slightly cutoff. Then again, I assume that a zoom of -2% or -4% in the skin control could adjust for that. Also it is worth noting that there are many 1.85:1 movies. When playing these back with a scoped screen of say 2.35:1 or 2.37:1 or 2.40:1, the image is not zoomed out anywhere near as much as a 2.40 or 2.35 movie.
2:35:1 (1920x817)
2:40:1 (1920x800)

So ideally there would be settings in your Scoped option where you could choose between 16:9, 1.85:1 vs 2.35 or 2.37 or 2.40. And it would be great if there was a control on the playback OSD that could be used to cycle through these options. So you finish title 1 at 2.40 and then you go to play something at 16:9 (equiv of CIH zoom feature being turned off) or 1.85 and you could toggle the positioning right there without having to go back to the skins Extra menu to configure it.
Does this answer your question? Thanks again for the tremendous help!
