Did you tried the "Zoom Mode" or "Stretch Mode" instead of "Normal Mode".
I can confirm this problem on my PVR-500 system. No matter what I do the black border wont go away.
Im running MP 0.2 RC4 latest SVN

Hi,
This is definitely a hardware/driver issue. I've always had this small black borders with my Hauppauge PVR-150MCE and now with my PVR500MCE as well. The original WinTV app doesn't expose this behaviour, probably because the app itself overscans the TV picture.
AFAIK the only thing you can do about it is to try to use ffdshow post-processing with TV and crop the picture. I've always had trouble with ffdshow so eventually I stopped trying. One thing I did notice was that the DScaler codec somehow does overscan the picture a bit, so with that codec the problem is less apparent.
Kind regards,
Michel

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ?
MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback.
If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo.
I have...

Fixed, I think.
Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this.
