DivX to SVCD: Playback size problem

[texcritter]

First post:
I have converted 20 or so .avi's to VCD with great success, thanks to this site. Then when I saw the "SVCD Header Trick" I thought I would give that a try, being that my DVD player did not support SVCD. I followed the instructions to a "T", and got back an excellent quality picture on my television with one exception. The picture on my TV only uses about 2/3 of the screen, leaving the other 1/3 blank. The movie is all there, it just doesn't take up the fullscreen, in essence "scrunching" the movie up on the left side of the screen. I have never had this problem making VCD's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again for all the info on this site.

I forgot to mention I use virtualdub and TMPGEnc.

So it seems this trick doesn't work quite perfectly on your DVD player. Your'e screwed mate, stick to VCD's or splash out on a DVD burner (assuming you player can play those!)
