Top and bottom of photos are cut off on playback

Guest

I scanned a couple hundred old photos and made a slide show. When previewing the show, the pics look great however when I burn the show and play it back on my TV, a section at the top and bottom of the photos are cut off. Any ideas how to correct this problem???
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

What you are seeing is not a fault but unfortunately by design.

Its called TV Safe area overscan and has historic reasons... when tv picture
boundaries were not properly captured and caused flickering at the edges. So
the wise technical people of the time thought up scaling up the actually
captured image a bit so that the bad edges would get cropped away... It
became widespread and is sort of standard now.

Anyway you have to live with it and allow upto 5%-7% area around image edges
to be subject to TV Safe area overscan. Some TVs do it more than others.
