How do you crop TV output

gloomyandy · 2008-07-05, 23:02

Hi,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've searched and failed to find an answer...

I've been using MP for a couple of years now (using DVB-T), I've recently added a DVB-S card to gain access to BBC-HD etc. As part of this I've upgraded hardware and software (to vista). Now I sometimes get a flickering top line of video output when watching TV and if possible I'd like to crop this top line out. Is it possible to do this? If I do will this impact the use of hardware acceleration (which at the moment is working really well using an ATI HD3450 card and PowerDVD codecs)?

Thanks for any help

Andy

When watching live tv open the menu (info) and select Crop Settings. Here you can define where to crop the screen (global setting though)

Thanks! Will give it a try when I get back.... Currently on holiday on a Scottish Isle while hopefully my MP PC is busy recording all of the TV I'm missing!
