I can make the black bars go away... but the screen is still not "straight" and nvtv doesn't work with Geforce4s with the nvidia tvout chip, only the older cards. (Segfaults).
I did try nvtv with my Geforce3 and that didn't help me any. The screen was still not straight even when I used nvtv to cause it to fill the whole screen. Also it happens before I do any media playback (one example of where it's very noticeable is in the tv-guide part of freevo). Here are some screen shots of what I'm talking about: Overscan on: http://www.dumaresq.ca/tv.jpg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Reynolds Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 9:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Freevo-users] tv-out issues.

Also, are you saying it's TV viewing or ripped video files? If the latter I have the same problem but live with it because of how the movie was recorded. i.e. wide screen format.
