Menu Problem With ( Tmpgenc Dvd Author )

[Steve8177]

Ok so i Converted the a Video
From PAL to NTSC ( Worked Fine )

Then i use TMPEGnc DVD Author to make menus and all ( Worked fine )
and it creates VOB file and all the other files for the DVD

Ok now i burn the DVD ( Worked Fine )
Put the DVD in my stand alone DVD player
DVD starts but now the menu is too big for the screen
it sorta leaks on each side of the screen ( get it )

What did i do wrong ???

Here are the specs for the video when i finished converting it
From PAL to NTSC

Video: MPEG-2, 720x480, 29.97 fps, (4:3) NTSC, 7412 kbps
Audio: MPEG-1, Audio Layer-2, 48000 kz Stereo, 384 kbps

Thanks for any help

Were you aware of the "TV Safe Area"? Because of overscan some parts of the picture may disappear, depending on the TV/Monitor. Tmpgenc DVD Author has this TV safe area to guarantee that just such a thing wont happen...(note the dotted line around the menu area), enable this by right-click/options (i think), just make sure your image appears within this area and things should be ok

That's a standard issue with TV called overscan. Normally, it's considered that about 5% of the picture from each edge won't be visible on the TV screen, and you shouldn't put any text within 10% from each edge to prevent distortion. TDA is flexible enough to allow resizing of the menu.

enable this by right-click/options (i think)
