What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Record an avi with the Atari 2600

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The resolution should be 192x160, mine is 320x262.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
BizHawk 1.0.4 on Windows 7

The "expected" resolution is 160x192, not 192x160.

The 2600 core renders the expected 160 width internally, doubling it to 320 for 
output in order to get closer to square pixels.  This should probably be 
changed, together with more generally "correct" aspect ratio handling, as some 
of the other cores require it as well...

The 192 height often quoted really isn't correct; 2600 v-timing is negotiable 
and handled by software, so can change.  The emulator currently shows all 262 
scanlines, including vblank ones, regardless of what the software does.  
Perhaps there's a way to improve on this?  I'm not sure.

Closing this issue, as of r6494, atari outputs 160x224 with the top and bottom 
cropped (and configurable).  In addition there is an Aspect Ratio correction 
option to make this look more realistic.
