    Alright, first of all, i've been looking this up on the search for a couple days and have found people with this same problem, but none of em seem to have been answered.
    So im posting this.

    I have Final Fantasy: Unlimited Episodes off IRC, Fan Subbed by Soldats (anime). I've put 1-3 Eps on VCD awhile ago. But when I watched it I noticed that the subtitles are somewhat further down on the screen. I can read them but Barely.. kinda sucks. On the computer they play normal and I can read them.. I want to play them with my DVD player so I can record them on VHS. For friends if your wondering, they have no DVD player. Anyways, does anyone know what settings to use with TMPGEnc. I have version 2.02 and I've been playing around with the settings forever and reading posts.

    I originaly converted them with these settings:

    Loaded VCD template.
    Under Video options, clicked High Quality
    Under Advanced options, I left everything the same.
    1:1 VGA
    Full Screen (keep aspect ratio)

    But what if I converted using the VCD film template
    and changed the 1:1 VGA to 4:3 525 line (NTSC) would it show the titles then?

    I would try but I don't feel like burning and waisting more cd's ive already waisted alot and I dont have much left, im cheap

    Anyway, I've been reading http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgencexplained.htm

    and from what it says, it says 1:1 VGA is for computers, and the 4:3 525 blah is for NTSC tv's. And 4:3 is basicaly a cutdown from 16:9 525 line (NTSC)

    So will any of these settings help me see the subtitles?

    Sorry for all this if its hard to understand I'm somewhat new, I've been making VCD's for awhile now though but this is my only problem. Everything else is fine. Thanks.

    BTW, there was a mod that said sumthing about using the center custom size, and setting it to 352x576.
    I did that but on the computer it shows no subtitles and everything seems enlarged, is it supposed to be like that?

    Its called overscan from what i've read. I've found more out about this, but what about the ideas up there would that work?

    Or what is the numbers wutever to make borders around so the TV overscans the part i dont want to see and i can still see the subtitles, for NTSC? and how do you do it exactly im not quite getting it, or why this happens?

    thanks.. still learning bout the whole resolution thing.. its like a secret code to me still.
