Now, I'm not sure if this is a really stupid question or not but, I can't seem to find an answer to this question anywhere. It may be that I only searched for about 15-20 minutes but this place is the closest thing I could find to an answer in that time and I figured asking would be a good idea. Now, the problem is, I'm having problems getting the DVD's I create to display properly on a low resolution TV. When I'm in the Authoring part f the project it will display the TV Overscan border which is the area which I'm not getting on the Low Resolution TV which is exactly what that is. Well, anyways, the question I would like to ask is: How do I fix this? How do I get my newly made DVD to display correctly on a Lo-Res TV? Do I have to resive the video itself or the video files? Anyways, any help would be appreciated, and much thanks to anyone who spends even a little of their time bothering with me.
Is this problem related to the aspect ratio you are using to capture and create your movies, such as using a 4:3 or 16:9? Normal viewing in the United States is 4:3, while widescreen is 16:9. Also, NTSC is primarily used in North America and Japan, while PAL is used in most of the other countries. Please let us know which software title you are using to create your movies as I am just shooting from the hip with this response.
dvd creater please be more spicific what file are you saving or burning as? dv-avi is for dvd playback are you burning it as something else
The title of the program I am using is "InterVideo's WinDVD Creator 2". The file type I am burning is AVI. I'm positive it's in NTSC. And I'm not saving the files, just burning them straight to a DVD-R disk. As for if I'm using 4:3 or 16:9 to create my movies I'm not sure. I haven't found out how to check with this particular program as of yet. EDIT PS: I have checked a few other sites in relevance to my question and dvdnoobie's answer about the 4:3 and 16:9 circumstance and I believe that I may need to get "WinDVD Recorder 5 'Platinum'" in order to solve that particular problem. This program apparently offers a program called 'Smart Stretch' which can resize video, which "WinDVD Creator 2" can not do, and then resave the video files and THEN burn them to DVD. As far as I've been able to discern that is the answer to my problem but "WinDVD Recorder 5 'Platinum'" costs $99.95 $US$ and therefore is not the immediate solution I would like to take. If anyone else or, not to be picky, you two have any more ideas or comments in relevance to this they would be much appreciated.
mjivi, it appears you are not the only one having this problem. See below. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/249709 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/237332 I must admit I am not a user of WinDVD 2 Creator, and thus unprepared to be of much help. For that I am sorry as I truly wish I could help. I have seen some chatter about different record length modes used by WinDVD Creator, but I am unable to verify this. 1 hour mode would have a higher resolution then say the 2 hour mode. Hopefully another WinDVD Creator user will chime in. If nothing else, try to E-mail Intervideo support for a solution. Good luck.
could it be possable you need to run the wizardagain and you got theset up wrong try new project open capture record name the movie then edit and then burnand chose the amount of disk you want to use 60 min 120 240 direct record may have a option in quality if not thee your caption card xp asks me in my tv the resolution and if it is set low and you set the max the quality still works for me
I am new at this so I hope some of you can help me or steer me in the right direction. I am using a HP 1160 media center pc. It came with the InterVideo WinDVD Creator2 installed. I have created a home movie. Its a 50minute edited production with many songs and titles as well as transitions. It all looks good during playback in the computer while on the edit screen and in timeline mode. However when I go to create dvd, half the time it stalls and freezes my computer( I have 200GB and 1GB of Ram). When it does finally burn, most of the movie is fine except for a 25 second music cue gap somewhere along the movie. When I re-do the segment in question, re-arrange the music and proceed to create a new dvd, once burned, I popped into my tv and the 25 second gap is now in another section of the movie for no apparent reason. I've tried and retried doing it over more than 20 times and I've yet to get to work properly, there's always a gap somewhere.... Any ideas of what may be causing this drop in the audio? I've checked the time line and it all looks accordingly. Its very frustrating. I am hoping someone can help. Many thanks.
Well, I don't have any ideas about how to give you advice on your audio problem but I can tell you about the experience I have with mine that you should be having... or something like that. You mentioned that you have 200GB and 1GB of RAM and your computer keeps freezing when you're burning your DVDs. Well, I have a 100GB and a 1GB RAM laptop and when I'm burning DVDs I have no errors or freeze problems whatsoever, just my display problem , but from what I experience and what you experience I think I can make the guess that it's not because of the program itself or your HD or RAM but maybe perhaps something else. Perhaps you were running other programs? Or Maybe it has something to do with your Processor? I'm not sure exactly, but your 200GB and 1GB RAM should be plenty fine to run WinDVD Creator 2 so thus it must be something else. I'm sorry if I talked too much or confused you anymore than you already are, but this was the best I could do for help with what information you have given and the small amount of knowledge I have. PS: On The option of my problem in response to the answer from roads63. Do you mean run the install Wizard again? Because my WinDVD creator comes pre-installed on my computer and the only thing that I have for it is my Product Recovery Disc and that doesn't run a wizard for it. Secondly, the first time I used WinDVD creator it didn't run a wizard for me, should it have?
