The only complaint I have is that the scaling of 720p material to = fullscreen
is not very good.

So I can choose to watch my 720p50 material pixel-by-pixel with = black
borders, or full screen with less than perfect scaling. Letting the NLE = (or
rather the Quardro card) scale it on output works OK. But when watching = 50p
material at 50Hz refresh rate, I need to output a proper video signal, = and
that's when the bad scaling is an issue.
