MSP 7 dilemma

Post by syorga »

Hope someone can help me on this problem...

I want to create a video file so that I can create a VCD by using nero. However, the problem i faced was that when i played it on the vcd player, the clip seems larger than the tv screen, thus hiding some titles that I have put in. My country is using NTSC system.

I have tried to create the video using mpeg vcd format and also tried reducing the aspect ratio to 4:3 but nothing seems to work. I have also read the manual and followed the specifications that are ideal for a televesion screen but to no avail. I have run out of ideas.

thank you to anyone out there.

This is perfectly normal. The reason is called overscan. This must have been dealt with tens of time on this and other forums and a Search should find enough reading matter to keep you busy for a couple of hours.

Basically, TV sets never show the full picture for some very good technical reasons which you can find elsewhere. You must keep your titles at least 10%-15% in from the four edges of your frame.
