Hi, I recored a part from /dev/video0 and looked at the width of recording. I saw that the image is much more wider than it apperas on the TV. This is happened for both, the OSD and the decoder output. How can I figure out, if the cropping of the image output is done by the television or by the

Hi, I'm using the ivtvdev driver for X. I noticed that the fullscreen output ist cropped. It seems that not the full 720x576 (pal) or 720x480 (ntsc) output is shown on the TV. I have no idea what is the reason for that. It would be great if anyone can give me a hint to solve the problem. Best re
