I dont think the component input can take more than 60hz correct? Or is it the SVHS that cant |
That's correct, and neither can the SVHS.

I dont think the Radeon is supporting custom rex right now - true? |
I wouldn't consider 800x600 to be custom as it is a standard resolution available on any PC.

800x600 at 60 is the only thing that seems stable. |
Have you tried using PowerStrip at other resolutions? Frankly, I'm surprised that you can even get 800x600.
You did not state what DVD software you are using, which is important for us to figure out what the problem is. You also should state what DVD you are using, and whether it is anamorphic or letterbox.

Component input from DVD plays fine at 16:9 or 4:3 formats.
Once I connect to the component inputs the TV no longer allows me to change the 16:9 option - it grays it out - I am assuming HD capable inputs assume your going to go to 16:9 format all the time |
I think you have to clarify the statements above as it sounds contradictory. Is component 16:9 fine? Or is it not?

They call it 16:9 Enhancement
Vertical Compression Technology maximizes picture resolution on anamorphic or wide screen sources |
This simply means that you can feed the set anamorphic signal and then squeeze the image to the proper aspect ratio. Most 4:3 sets will often take anamorphic signals and fill the screen, creating tall and skinny image, which needs to be compressed to the proper aspect.
It sounds to me as if you need to check your DVD player to undo the "maintain aspect ratio" but how this will interact depends on your software decoder and the resolution you are using.
