Help - Right hand side of video missing / chopped (1 Viewer)

[Rich78]

I've just setup my PC to use the DVI output instead of the VGA PC output which I used before.

The picture quality is far superior now to what I was used to with the VGA.

The resolution is set to 1280x720 @ 60hz. I also setup the HDTV part in my nVidia settings to display 720p.

When I play any video through media player, be it TV or recordings the right hand side of the side is chopped by about a quarter.

If I back up while it is playing then the mini display of the video playing shows the full screen which is how I could tell it is actually missing part of the video off as opposed to squashing the picture.

If I change my nVidia settings to less than 720p (ie. 480p or 576p) then the video is displayed properly without chopping the picture, however the picture quality isn't as good as what I have with the 720p.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it as I've spent about 4 hours messing with various settings to no avail.

Media Portal Version 2.0.0
GFX Card: nVidia GEForce4 Ti 4200
OS: Windows XP
Resolution: 1280 x 720
TV/LCD: Philips 32PF5520D

Thanks

Just to update, I started MP in windowed mode and found that the picture was fine and displayed in full, this is while the window was of a certain size.

As I stretch the window it is fine up to a point and then it starts cropping the right hand side of the video.

The video fits in full until it goes beyond a certain width.
