Problems with overscan

[Netforce]

I'm currently trying to convert an AVI ( resolution: 768X432 so 16:9 ) to an dvd. For this process i use TMPGenc Plus. I've read many articles on this site how to convert the avi but i still can't find out how i can solve my overscan..

The problem is that in this anime the subs are hardcoded ( also in the overscan area ).

Since i know it has to do with overscan i tryed to change the resolution from the movie to 608X456 ( found that in an other topic ). And added borders. But still my movie won't fit perfect on the screen..

Can anyone help me with this one?

But there is still a part of the movie missing..

What part of the movie ?
If you have used that script, then you must own a 1950's retro special to lose any footage to overscan. You you post a screen shot showing what is missing ?

well i'm not using the script, i'm using the resize values. I enter them in TMPGenc --> video arrange method: Center custom size --> and then the values like: 624 X 384. This resolution shows the full movie but only the image is shifted to the left so at the left side there is a piece missing and at the right side there is a border

I'd try dropping that script into an avs file, and loading that into tmpgenc. It will be faster than tmpgenc's resize, and will put the borders in the right place. You already have avisynth, so it should be simple. (Persoanlly, I'd use a Lancsoz resize though)

thnx for your advice i'm gonna try it but wat is very wierd is the fact that the movie is in the center when i play it on my pc but when i look at it on the tv it shifted to the left

With my TV (Panasonic) I get too much overscan if connecting my DVD player with RGB. But using S-VIDEO is much better. Maybe there is something wrong with your TV or DVD player setup? Sometimes there is a (undocumented) service mode for the TV where the overscan can be adjusted. Search internet to find service instructions for your TV.

I wonder if your source really is anamorphic 1:1?
In FitCD try deselect the anamorphic setting on the source but keep it on the destination. (But this will get even less borders). Perhaps you should choose 4:3 destination (deselect anamorphic) and then get more letterboxing.

You're TV is out of wack. Actually, this isn't unusual. It's one reason TVs overscan.

There's no point in trying to get the video "perfect" for your TV. The overscan on televisions differs from set to set, even over time as a set heats up and cools off.
