I've created a few VCD slide shows with Slide Show Movie Maker, converted them to standard VCD with TMPGEnc, burnt them on to CD and played on TV successfully. However, there's one minor problem, the screen width seems to be cut off a bit. Not much just about 4 characters width on both sides of the screen. What can I do here?

Don't think Slide Show Movie Maker would care about the picture sizes, it will produce its own size (resolution). Nothing can be done here.

Would it make any difference if I set the ratio in TMPGEnc when convert the AVIs to MPEGs as 4:3 ??? Would it help? At the moment I'm using 1:1 VGA and they're standard PAL VCD templates.

Thanks in advance for your help.
