DVD burning problem.

[novadragon849]

I burnt some avi files which the width and height of the source file pixels set is larger than the width and height of my TV onto a DVD and it turned out that the screen on my TV is not wide enough to fit the picture. Can anyone help me suggest a solution to this problem? Like a program that can solve this problem.

How many pixels wide and high is your TV ?

I am assuming you mean that some of the image is hidden by the sides of your TV. This is normal. It is called overscan, and can be found in the glossery here -> https://www.videohelp.com/glossary?O#Overscan

TV programs shoot with this in mind, so you aren't missing much. Everytime you watch TV the same amount of the picture is missing.

If you really have a problem with this, you can resize your image down to around 690 x 450, and add a black border around it to fill out the missing pixels. Virtualdub's resize filter does this easily.

My TV pixel is 544 by 242 and the avi file is 640 by 408 so its quite a difference. Also can you recommend me the guide to fix this problem please.

The TV pixel question was a joke. TV's don't have pixels, so I don't know where you are getting those numbers from. If this was true, you would only see about half a DVD, which I'm guessing isn't the case.

Sorry the height and width were 544 X 240. Anyway can you tell me how to resize it using virtualdub please.

filters, add, Resize. Top settings are the size you want it to be, bottom settings are the border - they should be 720 x 480 for NTSC.

Seriously - do you watch DVDs ?
How much do you see of the screen ?
DVD resolution is 720 x 480 for NTSC.

Thanks got it sorted out but there is another problem that occured. It was when I burnt it onto disk when I watched the film the voices was not matching the video. How can I sort this out?

[guns1inger]

How about you start be telling us what software you used and what process you followed to get to this point.

I first opened up my avi format file onto virtualdubmod. I only wanted to resize the file so I added the resize filter and sorted out my new width and height. I then chose bicubic and added a frame around it, after that I chose the xvidmpeg4 compression. Then I saved it and it starts to do it resizing process. When it finishes I started watching it and I realised that squares that are not suppose to be there are appearing on the resized file. And on the main file (the avi file where I didn't resize it ) did not have those squares so I was wondering how to sort out this problem. Please help.
