DVD Video Image Oversized Question

[JerryRecords]

Hello everyone,
I'm converting with ConvertXtoDVD 3.
Unfortunately when i convert my videos and i burn them i get a oversized image when i play it in a DVD player. Usually, there are all widescreen videos but in the tv the corners are clipped and it seems like the whole image does not fit. Here's the log, hopefully you could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Might be more to it than that with CXD3. Early versions had a 'Recommended' default setting that would enlarge sources to better fill a WS TV.

12/17/2008 6:54:04 PM info Video processing: Pad (Left:0 - Top:34 - Right:0 - Bottom:34)
12/17/2008 6:54:04 PM info Video processing: Crop (Left:40 - Top:0 - Right:40 - Bottom:0)

Go in to CXD, Video processing, and choose 'Letterbox' and see if that fixes things. In the latest version, Letterbox is now 'recommended'.

I found the solution to my problem.

In 'options', 'TV Format' tab, under 'TV Screen', click the drop down menu and select '16:9 Widescreen'.

I also have selected the 'letterbox' option.

Thanx guys for your help!
