Hi, All (most?) TVs will overscan by a few percent. In fact, this is something I recently learned about, and was told it was normal. I discovered this while doing compression testing. I encoded a clip from a movie, paused at a certain point, and paused at that same point using my DVD player. Then, I'd use my A/V receiver to toggle back and forth to examine the differences and compression artifacting. That's when I noticed my DVD player outputted a picture that seemed to be zoomed in slightly. Or so I thought. After some investigation I learned that it wasn't the DVD player that was "zooming" but rather my TV. The overscan setting on my video card (via nvtv) was such that I was able to see the _full_ video frame; the overscan done by the video out in combination with the tv's overscan rendered the full image to my TV. And I never really noticed the difference with my DVD player until I tried the A-B test. So if you want to adjust for this, you'll need to do the -vop expand trick, or you can try adjusting the overscan on your video card's tv-out, if that option is available to you. Cheers, Jason. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
