My TV keeps cutting off part of the videos either on the sides or on top. I think its an overscan or something with the video. but say something like the JETIX logo. all i will get is ETIX the J gets cut an parts of the bottom. Can someone tell me a good video size to get this from not happening or some type of bar i can put around the video?

Overscan issues. Your video was cropped improperly, and was probably a downloaded file converted to DVD poorly. It has to be padded and re-encoded.

actually i was testing a dvd set i got from someone else and changing it from pal to ntsc but i made the retarded mistake when i changed it. My tv cuts off a lot anyways and even normal tv cuts off a lot. i was just wondering if there was a way to make a dvd that doesnt cut off at all.

Yes, re-encode it with padding. But it'll show "edges" on other tv sets. That may not be good. I would not make a DVD specific to a tv. Some DVD players play PAL with a bad aspect too. This is one reason I like LSI chipset recorders (LiteOn, JVC) so much for playing PAL DVDs, as they respect the aspect ratio.

I've had this same problem when trying to burn downloaded video, so that I don't have to watch it on my computer. How do I pad the video so that it will show up completely on the tv screen without any problems? I use Ulead DVD Workshop 2. If it matters, I also have Ulead VideoStudio 11, mpeg-vcr, SUPER, and DVD Decrypter.

How did you fix the problem? That's what I want to know because I'm having that same problem.

You need an encoder. MainConcept 1.5 is what I would use, or TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 as second choice (not as good as MC).

I have an HDTV too, and a Philips 3575 player (plays MPEG-4/Divx/Xvid). A family member has a Philips 5900-series player from Walmart, and it does quite nicely. It respects MPEG-4 aspect ratio, from what I understand. So go buy one of those, see how it does.
