tomg Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have burnt a DVD with four PTE 5.6 AV's and they look fine on the TV except that the pictures seem to have expanded on the TV. An annoying effect of this is that titles and lettering that are on the outer edges of the pictures are cut off. What has gone wrong here ?Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobeefstu Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Tom,What your most likely seeing is the result of whats called television overscan. The overscan area can vary depending on make and model ... but the general rule of thumb is about 10% or less. You may want to frame your slideshow that is speciffically built for DVD-TV display by setting 95% of the Slide to show Main Images from the Project Options | Screen tab. Build short test files using DVD-RW ( if your DVD player accepts) to get an idea of what best suits you. Review the DVD on the TV screen and not the PC screen.As for DVD-TV display ... your titles & text need to fit within a Safe Zone to best fit the television display. Open the Objects & Annimation window and select the Show TV Safe Zone from the Tools button. The O&A window will display a outer framed area ... make sure your text and titles fit inside the area.Building slideshows for DVD-TV viewing sometimes requires different settings to be used than that you may normally use for exe slideshows.Overscan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
