The border of the 4 sides is the result of the "overscan" parameter of gripcrop.

We use that on purpose because this part is actually masked by your TV (taht is why it is called "TV overscan") and there is no need to put picture there. Black borders use less bytes to be encoded.

Good... so.. I'll continue making KVCDs with good letter box. Now that I know its actually a good thing.

thanks for the info!

btw: don't look at quality or aspect ratio through WMP. it's a horrible program! :?
use WinDVD or PowerDVD or ZoomPlayer or VideoLAN or... but not WMP! :wink:

roger that!

WMP even reports the playing time of KVCD MPEG file incorrectly.
