Burn a DVD without cutting off subtitles (ConvertXtoDVD)

(1/3) > >>

difascio:
What's the best video option in ConvertXtoDVD to burn anime (with hardcoded subs) or movies (with hardcoded subs) without having them cut off in the actual video?  Would letterbox still be OK or no?

blubart:
could you explain what exactly you are talking about with "cut off" subtitles in the video?
if the subtitles are hardsubs there should theoretically be no way for them to cut off without you cutting off the video itself (which would be pointless in the first place)

difascio:
I want to make sure the subtitles and/or the video (in some cases) is not cut off on the TV after burned onto a DVD.  What video resize method is best for anime fullscreen?

Nikaido:
640x480, 320x240

Just make sure to keep the aspect ratio at 4:3. Most dvd burning software will resize it for you if you have it set for 4:3 ratio.

ahh, so you are talking about overscan on old TVs?
... or not? :D

the standard dvd resolutions are 720/704x480 for NTSC and 720/704x576 for PAL.
how to set the resolution and whether or not to encode the whole stuff letterboxed depends a lot on your dvd player and tv and of course whether or not your source is 16:9 or 4:3
for example i've run into 4:3 tvs that letterbox while others side-crop and again others stretch the exact same 16:9 source signal.
