SVCD plays outside TV-screen...?

[kikkegek]

I have converted a AVI file using framserving with vitualdub to add subtitles. Then I converted the file using the newwest TMPGENC using "Full screen - keep aspect ratio". The result was a beautiful file with subtitles which I burned to a SVCD using VideoPack from Roxio to Add Chapters and a Menu.

The only problem I have right now is that when I play it on my television using my Samsung DVD-811 player, that about 1 or 2 cm of the movie is played outside the TV-screen? I used PAL as format which is standard format as far as I know in the Netherlands.

Can Somebody help me with this? I searched a little but found no info on this.

All tvs has some overscan, you could add black borders in tmpgenc to get the entire picture

OKE, I read the info on overscan...now heres my next question.

I have a AVI file: 640x272

And I want to make it a SVCD file: 480x576, BUT

I want to make sure I dont loose any through overscan...

NOW what are my settings for TMPGENC?

is it center, custom? if so, then how do i calculate the numbers for the custom size (maintaining the aspect ratio.)?
