not trying to be mean or anything but if i knew it was called overscan then i would of done just that but i didn't...

Download the SVCD demo disk (this will show you the amount you need to cut off).

Next re-encode the image and cut a margin

if the ovie was originally full screen (4:3 aspect ratio) all you should have to do is make sure you select that aspect ratio in dvd2svcd.

you should try using
There is a plugin for DVD2SVCD that will enable you to perform accurate cropping and resizing, and TV overscan optimized. you can save bitrate and also speed up encoding process.

its called
AutoFitCD v1.4
you can download it here

with the autofit cd program you will also need

Fitcd v 1.1.2

which you can download here

http://shh.dvdboard.de/.

How to install
-----------------

Simply run AutoFitCDSetup.exe and follow the instructions.
AutoFitCD requires FitCD. The plugin, Readme and source code
will be installed to a AutoFitCD subdirectory in your DVD2SVCD
installation folder. Note that this plugin supports both
AVISynth 2.0.x and 2.5.x but you need to reinstall it after
switching AVISynth versions.

Usage
--------

Start DVD2SVCD, go to the Frameserver tab and select "AutoFitCD
Detect Borders" from the Avisynth Setup dropdown. Now go to the
Conversion tab, load the AVI/IFO/DVD and click "Go! - Preview
video". There will be lines indicating where AutoFitCD detected
black borders. Click "New Frame" until the motion area is
properly detected. If it is an overall very dark movie and the
motion area is not being well detected, lower the Borders
Threshold value at the bottom of the preview window (0-255,
default is 25).

Now click the "AutoFitCD >>" button in the preview window and
FitCD will be launched with all the correct settings (motion
area and borders detected during the preview, source and target
aspect ratio etc.). The preview window will automatically
update to reflect the optimized cropping and resizing
calculated by FitCD.
