That's an excellent call.  It does indeed look as you have
described.  You'd think a lot more people would be running into this,
though, if that were the case.  Hmmm.

In any case, though, can you think of a good way to hack it away?  I
guess I could try to get rid of this by getting my X server to
overscan a bit, but I'd much rather do it on the encoding
side...after all, I'm not always playing back on a TV screen.

I think I see this too -- I just don't notice it most of the time
because I overscan my TV-out.  If I view playback in a window I notice
it.


I think most people overscan at least a little. If I remember right, standard televisions overscan by around 4%. I only do about 1%, and only on the vertical for 4:3 content, so I do see some interesting junk, but the 1% is enough to get rid of the closed captioning info.
