mixing 4:3 and 6:19

[kitesurfer]

I have almost pulled this off but am still left with a black bar on 2 different non widescreen televisions at the sides - as well as at the top and base (I expected these)

A little detail or some pictures might help

From what I can gather from your sparse post, you have widescreen material, but are getting a border all the way around. This generally occurs when you have encoded widescreen material as 4:3 letterbox - that is you have encoded the black bars top and bottom. When a correctly configured 16:9 TV displays the material, it sees it as 4:3 and displays it as 4:3 - with vertical black borders.

To fix this, you must encode you material as 16:9, with black borders top and bottom only when the aspect ratio of the source image is greater than 1.78:1. You can then author the material as 16:9, and it will display correctly.

Note : if you are authoring a disc with a mix of 4:3 and 16:9 titles, they must be in different VTS. That is, 4:3 material ca be together, and 16:9 material can be together, but 4:3 and 16:9 cannot be in the same VTS. This will cause a warning in DLP, and potential playback issues with your player and TV.
