    Hi all
    If I have an AVI file movie on my media drive, When I connect the drive to my 42" plasma and play it the picture is only about 12" high. If i use convertXtoDVD to burn it to dvd & then play it through my dvd player the TV screen is filled. Is there any way to make the AVI file fill the screen on my tv(like a normal movie) or do I just have to keep burning to dvd.

    Thanx for your help on this

    I use Aiseesoft total video converter, it lets you crop/trim video and convert it to whatever format you like. Hope this helps.

    May be the video original resolution is too small to 42'plasma
    you can set up the video resolution so that it can fill on 42'plasma

    Ok. I tried it. I opened avi file,set the output filetype to avi, set resolution i wanted clicked on start. It took 20 mins to "convert" it From a 690mb file into a 94mb file with no picture or sound. I tried different settings , even left it on the default settings still the same result. Any Idea what I'm doing wrong

    Maybe you chose the wrong type of .avi. There are like 10 different kinds of .avi that you can convert to with that program, like DivX avi, etc, make sue it's one that you have the codecs for.
