You may be able to turn off the overscan on that vizio tv. See this link: http://www.ehow.com/how_12134592_turn-off-vizio-overscan.html

Thanks for the info. I'm not having much luck with that. All my TV has are settings for Wide, Panorama and Normal. Doesn't go any deeper than that. That would fix my TV but I want to send my movie to friends and family. If I ever get it done. I want it to be seen on their TVs as well.

Thanks again.
Howard

unfortunately, most TV sets over scan, how much depends on the brand and age of the TV set.

The one thing you can do in your editor is to turn on the TV Safe Zone to see what is in the area that can be seen on most TV sets.
You lose about 10% of the viewing area on TV sets.

There are many ways to fix overscan on a modern flat screen tv. If it can't be done then the tv may be too old. See this link: http://www.ehow.com/how_6904737_do-overscan-computer-tv-output_.html . This is one way to set it for a hdmi connected standalone BD or DVD player. Easy if you use a PC. The Catalyst Control Center for AMD cards has the adjustable underscan and hacked drivers for some old Nvidia ones for SD that I remember for those that use a pc for home theatre.

Hi Carl312,

I was afraid of that. I was hoping for an easier fix. I have already been playing with this and having some luck with it.

If I try and put the whole image inside of the TV Safe Zone I get really bad quality loss, from squinching the image in. So I find, if I let some parts of the image hang out of the TV Safe Zone, Like sky, ground etc the loss of quality isn't so bad. I just have to find the sweet spot on each image. unfortunately for me, I only have to do this to about 213 images in my DVD slideshow/movie.

Thanks for clarifying that for me,
