Ok, Ive been encoding with TMPGEnc Plus and my anime always had cut off subtitles. After a LOT of tweeking and testing I found 420x446 was the best for 640x480 source rez. I have other animes and movies with different resolutions and I really dont want to go through all that again to correct overscan. Is there a calculater out there that calculates for overscan?

FitCD
If your AVI is 640x480 and you are converting to DVD at 720x480 then your final resolution should be 720x480 but of course that doesn't take any account of TV overscan.
So try 688x464 inside of a window of 720x480 (in other wodrds 16 black on either side and 8 black on the top and bottom).
If that isn't enough to account for your overscan "issue" then try 656x448 inside a window of 720x480 (in other words 32 on either side and 16 on the top and bottom).

Sorry but I should have stated that I was making SVCD's and NOT DVD's. What is the formula for calculating ratio's?

If your MPEG-4 AVI is 640x480 and you are making a SVCD of it then try 448x448 with 16 pixels all around to make it 480x480
FitCD is easy to use once you "fool around" with it a bit.

The problem is most of these anime AVI files put the subs too low on the screen (don't know why they do this) so on a TV the subs get cut off. So you want to reduce the overscan enough so that you can easily see the subs but you really don't want to overdue it ... after all it is a normal thing (i.e., TV OVERSCAN). Don't think Japanese anime creators don't know this ... they do and account for it.
So yes the image extends off the visible part of the TV screen but they KNOW that and EXPECT that so they don't put anything crucial near the extreme edges of the image.

But I haven't played around with it enough to test all the new stuff in this most current version.

P.S.
If you need to crop do it with VirtualDub or GORDIAN KNOT where you get a LARGE image to work with. Once you figure out your crop values just plug them into FitCD"The eyes are the first thing that you have to destroy ... because they have seen too many bad things" - Lucio Fulci

If the AVI is 640x480 to start with then the best SVCD resolution to use is 448x448 as this accounts for overscan without "wrecking" your aspect ratio.
