DVDlab NTSC format on PAL TV

[BuBBa_FaT_aSS]

Hi all

I've been using dvdlabs to auth my NTSC vcd's to dvd and all goes ok, but when I play the final dvd it only displays the film in the top half of the screen this is on my 28in 4.3 PAL only TV, but it plays fine on my mates 32in widescreen TV.

Any ideas how I can get the dvd to display full screen on my 4.3 pal tv?

thanx for any help

Well tried TMPGEnc DVD Author and still same results only displaying the picture at the top half of the screen.


anyone have any ideas?

Here is the info from AVIcodec

Video : 568 MB, 1150 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 352*240 (4:3), MPG1 = MPEG 1 (VCD),

If you're going to be playing your DVD on a PAL TV, you really should encode and author them as PAL, not NTSC.

Did you use the same player on both the TVs ?

Yeah thats one idea but just wondered if why NTSC svcd's converted and authored onto a dvd play fine why wont VCD's?

yeah the player displays it fine on my 32in widecreen but this tv is new and is ntsc compliant.

I converted the mpeg from VCD to SVCD and then authored and burnt it to dvd, It plays fine on both TV's with both dvd players still in NTSC format so its not that its in NTSC thats the prob.
