Newbie question DVD made but video is too big for television

[Shy420]

Using TMPGEnc DVD Author to write .vob files then burning those files with Nero. Everything went fine and the video looks great, but I now see that I'm loosing part of the subtitles due to the fact that the video is bigger than my television screene. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or a sugestion for a better way to encode and write?

What was the source? Were the subtitles all on the screen in the original?

The video files were avi and looked fine when viewed with BSPlayer. I guess I'll try to encode them to mpeg again because I don't remember if I looked at the mpg files to see if all was good.

I was just saying how I needed another coaster

I've had files that look one way with Windows Media Player but lose some video on the edges when viewed on TV due to overscan. If you can't watch the source on an actual TV (not computer monitor) then I don't know how you can really be sure if the problem is with the original file- but that's what I'd suspect.

Well I'm trying to encode them again and this time I used a guid instead of my memory. One thing I forgot to do was check off "keep aspect ratio". Hopefully this will work.
