okcjack Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 To any member, but especially to Lin and Ken -Images on TV are larger than screen.Source jpg images are 1920x1080, which is the pixel size of my 32" HDTV. With aspect ratios of 16:9 set in both PTE and Video Builder, the resulting image on the TV screen is larger than the screen.I have tested using "fullscreen" and "windowed" modes; "progressive" and "interlaced" styles without much effect. I have even used "windowed" mode with a window smaller than 1920x1080, with no change in results. Also, I have tried a source image of 1280x720 ... same results.This is driving me nuts. Can either of you or anyone else give me a clue as to what to do?Oh yes, I doulble checked the User Guide for v. 5.5 and believe that I am doing everything according to the Guide.Thanking you in advance,okcjack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 How are you displaying the images on the TV? If you are using a DVD player check the settings. If you are using cables from the computer which type are you using?The aspect ratio is correct from the output of PTE as are the number of pixels so the issues are either in settings or cables in the device which feeds your television. The only thing which could upset the output is if you are not using "Original" mode. Fit to slide or Cover slide will not give you the correct output for the television so be sure you are using "Original" mode. This won't look correct on the computer unless you have a 16:9 display device. Computer wide screens are usually 16:10 aspect ratio.

okcjack Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks for the reply, Kin1. Don't know. This is the first time I have created source images 16:9, 1920x1080 to populate the DVD.2. Yes3. Yes, a video captured from my Sony digital video camera (16:9) into Pinnacle Studio. I was able pause the camera and the HDTV on the same frame. It was a video of a soccer match and the frame had chalk lines which enabled me to adequately compare the visible image. They both matched. That was done this morning.Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 This seems to be the same problem I faced recently and answered in this thread: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8492I had to reduce percentage to get full image on my Pioneer Plasma TV. Originally I reduced to size as shown in TV Safe Area, but have found that I could go slightly larger than that shown (85%) and still fit my TV. It seems to me that the Safe Area is not correct for all TV types, but I maybe (probably) be wrong in that assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okcjack Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Thanks all,Just took the original 1920x1080 test image and cut a dvd using Pinnacle Studio. It created the same oversize that I experienced with PTE/DVD-builder.I guess this is pretty complicated as video capture into Pinnacle from a 16:9 camcorder and written to a dvd didn't have the same problem.Oh well!

davegee Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Don't forget that when you create a DVD the PTE show is converted to PAL (or NTSC) and then interpolated back up to your TV screen resolution.In PAL terms that's something like 720x576 (someone will correct if wrong, I'm sure) so your 16:9 image will be downsized to 720 wide and then upsized to 1920 on playback.The best way to interface between a laptop and a HD TV is via a HDMI/DVI cable - using the D - connector will limit the width of the image.At least that's my experience with a Sony (HDMI Equipped) laptop and a Sony wide screen HD TV. Doing it this way your 1920x1080 will show full screen in stunning quality.See: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....38&hl=davegDaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Okcjack (Jack)From Post #1the resulting image on the TV screen is larger than the screen.How much larger? - Slightly larger or is there a considerable difference, for instance a slight being the difference with TV safe zone ON or OFF or much greater?From Post #7Just took the original 1920x1080 test image and cut a dvd using Pinnacle Studio. It created the same oversize that I experienced with PTE/DVD-builder.Is it at all possible the ZOOM setting on DVD player is wrong?----------------------------------PTEImages 1920 x 1080Since the early days of beta testing for DVD, before Video Builder and using Nero to burn I always created an AVI using the “ Custom Setting “ (W) 1920 (H) 1080Project Options (Screen) set to 16:9 DVD - full screenPicture to EXE Video Codec.Also tested images 1024 x 576 with no noticeable quality difference – advantage here was faster encoding.There maybe other settings but these at the time worked fine for me and I stuck with them.Are you creating an .AVI?--------------------------------These daysImages 1920 x 1080PTE - All my images are set in O&A – Common - Mode - “ Fit to slide “We use nothing but Video Builder.Never create an AVI, just import the .PTE file directly into Video BuilderVideo Builder settings 16:9 (NTSC – my zone)All others are defaultViewing on my 4:3 monitor, yes I have black borders top and bottom which is normal, but correct proportion of image. I have never viewed on a 16:10 monitor however I would imagine it should show full screen All my 1920 x 1080 shows are full screen, tested on a 42” / 56” Plasma and 56” LCD TV.----------------------------------Mr B (Reg)From what I have read the average over scan is 5%, and your assumption is correct that it is not the same for all TV’s. It appears Plasma & LCD have even less over scan (1 - 2%).I also questioned the % to show of main image, but Jack has not indicated how large is larger than screen.
