problem in visualisation DVD between PC screen and TV

ironcutter · Post by **ironcutter** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:40 pm

I use video studio 8 to create dvd file, that I can see on my pc and also on my freestanding dvd reader connected to my television.
on the pc screen I see correctly the whole video, but when I run the same dvd on the television I see the size of the video is changed: I can see only the central part of the image and the rest in cutted.
Everything is captured and burned on 4:3.

there is any options I have to change in order to see correctly my dvd on the television?

thank you very much for your help.

The symptoms you are seeing are normal. Analog TVs never show the entire picture, some is lost to the overscan area, and some parts of the picture may also be lost to the tube's display geometry settings.

If you play a commercial pressed DVD on your DVD player/TV combination, and then compare the results you get from playing the same DVD on your PC, you'll see that all disks exhibit the same behavior.

When you add a title in UVS, it will display a bounding box that is known as the Title Safe Area -- anything outside that box is not guaranteed to be displayed on an analog TV due to overscan and display geometry setting issues.

thank you very much for your prompt reply, I've seen and already used the bounding box but sincerly I hoped to find another solution....
but anyway...

thank you again.
