I confirm this bug on 23.1 updated today 29aug 2010 from weekly build.

I would like my mythbox to output different resolutions for different
content because my bravia full hd tv does a much better job of scaling
than mythtv does. I hoped to achieve this with Overrides for specific
video sizes , but it is indeed ineffective.

I hope someone will fix this soon.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: New

Bug description:
In the "Video Mode Settings", there is an option to set "Overrides for specific video sizes". Nothing I set under here seems to have any effect.

I have it set to use 1366x768 @ 60Hz for the GUI and 1024x768 @ 75Hz for video output in general. This works. I want to match NTSC DVDs (720x480) and play these at 1366x768 @ 60Hz, using the override - this doesn't work.

I have "Separate video modes for GUI and TV playback" checked. If I change the settings for "Video Output" here, this is effective - I can make it play back at the different resolutions I want to use. So, I know that Myth is capable of switching to the resolution I want. However, I cannot make it override automatically by setting the override values underneath.

I am using mythfrontend 0.23.0+fixes24879-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2

I have tried running from a console so I can see any output, but I can't see anything relevant.

I was able to get this to work on a previous box running earlier versions of MythTV.
