Sounds like overscan to me. Is it also cut off if you play it on your PC?

Hi there,

When converting with DivXtoDVD, are you using "Auto" as the output format, or are you forcing it to FullScreen or WideScreen ?

Hi there,

If you have a Widescreen TV, and force the video to FULL SCREEN, you will have 2 large black bars on both sides, kinda what you are seeing.

(I think, I don't have a widescreen tv)

I always let the software decide what is best, based on the video ratio.

If it should be fullscreen, I let the "Auto" select fullscreen.
Same for widescreen.

Cause I think if it's a fullscreen file, and you force it to Widescreen, and you do have a widescreen tv, it will fill the image but strech the movie. (Again I think since I've never done it)...


Here's what I would do.

Look at the input file, is it Widescreen or fullscreen ?
Then convert it twice.

Let's say it's fullscreen, convert it fullscreen (Or set it auto)
then force it to widescreen.

Burn both on DVD-RW and see what difference it makes with your TV !

My 2 cents...

actually now that i think about it the problem is that the movie is zoomed in so the sides of the movie are not visible, and when i place it on auto, the files i have on my computer are widescreen, so the DivXtoDVD says widescreen, but now im thinking about rebuying my movie since i lost my first copy while moving =P
