I have reproduced this using (2) authoring products so I am thinking the issue is with the video rather than the software. The (2) products I have used are:

Pinnacle Studio Plus 9
Sonic RecordNow! 5

I have burned (2) video formats, WMV and MPEG-1, that have the same properties:

Resolution: 320x240
Aspect Ratio: 4:3

The result is the outer 1/2" to 1" is cutoff when playing on a TV but the same video plays fine on a computer monitor.

I have changed various settings with both products but no changes addressed the issue.

I also have Windows Media Encoder and WinAVI Video Converter but do not see any options that would apply.

Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

I've had this problem too, but I just had to set my tv to display things in 16:9.

If your tv can't do that, tell the burning software you're using to encode in 16:9.

Hello.

I guess your TV is showing the safe area while your PC monitor shows the full frame.

That's how it should be.

Best regards.

Someone on a different forum explained how this issue was related to "overscanning" and how TVs interpret and display data. I use Pinnacle for authoring and they have a PIP tool that will allow you to pad the outer edges so the actual video display fits on the screen.

Now I am just trying to find a solid WMV to MPEG converter because Pinnacle doesn't currently support WMV.

Thanks fro teh feedback.
