Output Image too Small
Hey guys,
I just burnt a DVD of my project to watch it on a real TV with those speakers just to get a feel for it all. Anyway, I am watching it on a 50 inch DLP tv and it is not taking up the full screen. I mean, it was shot in 16:9 so I know it is going to have the letterbox on the top and bottom but it is the sides that are concerning me… there are pillars on each side of the image? It was shot in 720p with a Firestore… I just assumed it would be the right size… what obvious thing am I missing this time?
thanks

i was able to find another cow thread on this matter. the one i found was not exactly my scenario because he was shooting in standard def and i am shooting in HD, but fact of the matter is, i am using my ps3 to view these and that is giving me the pillarboxes… i read in that other thread that blu ray players will do this… is that the case even when it was shot in HD? i mean, i did not burn it onto blu ray (can’t afford that yet) so I guess just bc it was shot in HD i am still outputting it in SD huh?

Play the DVD on your computer. Does it fill the window there? If so, it’s an issue with your TV, or more likely the PS3 setup for upconverting.

Make sure your TV Video Settings are set to “FULL”.
