Please forgive me if I'm confused and posting in the wrong section.

About 10% of the edges are cut off when playing DivX files on the Phillips DVP642. The subtitles built into them are illegible. All I did was burn the files as data with Nero to DVD+R. This is not normal, is it?

The manual says for when I'm UNABLE to play DivX movies to check that the files are encoded in ?Home Theater? mode with DivX 5.x encoder. How would I do that? I'm confused.

It is normal, has nothing to do with the file or the player. It is your TV and it is called overscan. Everything you have every watched on that TV has had the edges cut off, it is just that most stuff is formatted for this. Your source file in this case is not.

I have a computer plugged into the TV. When I play the same files from it there's absolutely no overscan, the content fits perfectly on the screen. It's the same S-Video cable I'm swapping between standalone dvd player and computer. So how can these be different, unless, there's something else I don't understand.

Guess the TV out adjusts for overscan.

It's this one, RCA 24V510T http://www.rca.com/product/viewdetail/0,2588,PI700752-CI102,00.html

So, it's also normal for most TVs to overscan when plugged into a computer? And mine's special?
