I use a nvidia card (FX 5200) in Windows XP with VLC 0.7.2.

I have a problem with the problem overscan in VLC. When i chose overscan i miss som pice of the picture on the sides when i use tv-out.

Is there anyway to set the right size on overscan in VLC? I have tried the nvidia settings, but the don´t work when i use overscan.

I use dual display i think it is called, monitor and tv as one BIG screen.

I use Clone-mode and I've set up my card so the TV is fullscreen video. You can probably have it ad fullscreen video if you're running dualview.

In the control panel set "Fullscreenvideo unit" to your TV (probably secondary unit) and when you open a video you get the correct resolution for the video :)

This is in Swedish but the location of things should be the same. The things you're looking for is marked with a black frame.
The item on the left: "Helskärmsvideo" = "Fullscreen Video"

"Kontroller för Helskärmsvideo" = "Controls for Fullscreen Video"
The box should be "Secondary Screen" (or similar)

Hope it helps!

No problem :)
Nice to help out. It's also the easiest way I think, just start the video and there you go ;)

Yes, I don´t have to move the window or nothing. Now when it is so good so can I ask another thing. Why is the top of the image, on both sides little concave? Is there anything witch have to do with my zoom or what? The window is not 100 % straight on the sides.

I don't know :/
Don't think that I've got anything like that. You could increase the size of the screen from the nview-settings so your sides are a little bit outside the screen. :)

Yes, I have increased the size so I get the hole picture. But it looks a little bit ugly with not 100 % straight lines on the sides!

I have installed windows now - agian the same thing. (It was not because of that i installed om windows. hehe)
