Photos showing up squished

[hargreae]

For quite a while now, the photos that I view on my TiVo (streamed from my computer using TiVo Desktop) all appear squished horizontally (everything looks skinny).

This has made the photos aspect of TiVo basically pointless. Has anyone else had this problem?

My current setup is TiVo Series 2, MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.2, TiVo Desktop 1.95, iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5)

Two things occur to me.

1. Are the pictures small? Pictures that are already below the requested size don't get resized by TiVo Desktop, so they don't get their aspect ratio corrected. However, the size is pretty small by current standards (less than 720x480). If this is the issue, pyTivo will resize even small pictures.

2. Is the aspect ratio set correctly on the TiVo? It needs to match your TV -- either 4:3 or 16:9, as appropriate. Look under Messages and Settings -> Settings -> Video -> TV Aspect Ratio.

No, the pictures aren't small (3264x2448 and up). And the aspect ratio on my TiVo is correctly set to 4:3
