DVD Picture Size Issue Please Help

[betamac]

Hi i have some AVI Videos that i captured from my computer using Camtasia, i used the resolution 800x600

I then converted these into DVD format using TMPEnc i tried both PAL and NTSC,

Now i then use Ulead Movie Factory to put these on DVD with a menu the problem is they dont fit correctly on the Screen when watched on TV it cuts off the top and sides?

how would i get these videos to perfectly fit on the screen?

Any help would be appreciated

Hey, I recently had a similar problem. After you've got your video into MPEG-2 720x480 and burn the DVD, the TV will crop about 8%. The answer is to reencode it with that 8% shrink of your regular video. I usually use TMPGEnc for this. I go into the advanced tab and select "custom size: Center" in the aspect ratio and put in 662x441 instead of 720x480. The outside 8% just becomes black video, so the TV cuts off only worthless stuff. Presto! Good luck.

I had the same problem (dvd) and posted here as well. I think it is called over burning or something and that it is normal when going to TV with a svcd or dvd.
I used TMPGE and used the center custom setting and knocked 40 clicks off the size. 720 X 480 became 680 X 440. Then I converted it at 6000.
Then I burned it to a disc using workshop set to 8000 so it would not re convert. It gave my final a tiny thin black frame that is hardly noticalble and the quality stayed great. I know this was DVD but am sure same could be aplied to svcd. I am not an expert but tenacity has rewards.
Hope this helps.

This is known as overscan, and all TVs do it. Be careful how much you shrink your video, because not all TVs overscan exactly the same amount. ormejaco recommends 8% because his TV overscans by approximately that much. Your TV may overscan more, or it may overscan less.

I've said it before (although not here), and I'll say it again. It is much better to live and work with overscan than to fight against it.
