¿ cant see anime subtitles ?

[SnookayDCC]

i've seached serveral times in several different ways. i downloaded some anime and after burning them onto DVDs, the subs are cut off. ppl say oh it's just the cut off point on some TVs but that is B.S. I say it's BS because other ppl who've burned the same files "naruto" and the subs show fine on my widescreen tv. but when I do it using tmpgenc express & then dvdlab pro, i get cut off subs on my TV.

if i put the same dvd (with the cut off subs) into my cpu they show perfectly. I can then play the movie on my cpu and watch it on my TV, and the subs arn't cut off. that right there really pisses me off. come to think of it, i've only used my ps2 to play em. maybe if i used a dvd player they'd show fine on my tv, is that a possibility??? i'll check into that tomrrow.

anyone out here that has had this problem and fixed it without resizing the video ???? the ppl i got some anime from that played perfectly on my TV I can't get in contact with anymore to find out how they did it. so any suggestions or comments will be appreciated. any anime fans on the site???

You will probably find they resized the footage enough to make sure the subs were visible. You always see right to the edge of the footage on your PC, so that is not a valid test.

If you use tmpgenc, then use the video arrange method (under advanced mpeg options) set to center (keep aspect ratio) and you should be OK.

A lot of the anime you find on-line in the form of DivX or Xvid has subtitles that are hard-encoded (burned in) and are almost always too low on the screen putting them in the overscan area when watching it on a TV.

The solution is to shrink the image just a bit so they are outside of that overscan area.

Try using FitCD to calculate your resize values.

P.S.
Also please note that if you are playing 4:3 material on a 16x9 TV that it is possible that you are cutting off the top and bottom of the image based on the "resize" mode you set your 16x9 TV to (in regards as to how it displays 4:3 material). Yes you can have 4:3 widescreen which is different from 16x9 widescreen.
