power dvd video cut off

[dendence]

In Cyberlink Power dvd the movie is cut off. It is cut off from all sides. I have tried different settings. I had power dvd 5, it installed 6 and then pro and it still cuts off the video. Any ideas ? Thanks

Please explain what you mean by "cut off". Compared to what? Which display?

Hi, If you are having the same thing i had once,
try going to full screen, then minimize, then full screen again.

Kschang, The whole picture doesn't show. It is also happening in windows media player.
Alprepress, tried it and it didnt work
maybe it is something with windows xp.

Does this happen with ANY DVD (not just store bought, but home-made ones too)?

Does this happen with AVI files, or just DVDs?

It happens with any DVD. Store bought, homemade. I took one of the same dvds to work to try it. It works at work. I noticed when I played it in windows media player the ffdshow codec icon was in the lower right hand toolbar. I had installed ffdshow once on my PC and then removed it, and now I am wondering if I install it again when I get home if it will correct the problem.
Also avi files that I make through Vegas Movie Studiio won't play anymore in windows media player.
I dont know if other avi files work. I will try when I get home.

still no luck.
All other formats work properly. Seems to just happen playing DVD's
