Question

Could anybody explain me why when the videos are exported on the tv the images comes stumped on every side ??
How can I maintain the same format ??
Thanks

If by 'stumped' you mean cropped - i.e. the edges are 'missing' then the answer is that's how domestic TV sets work.

It's called overscan - the image is all there but the edges are being displayed outside the normal viewing area. You need to take account of it when titling and using other effects.

If you play back your original video from the camcorder it will also be 'missing' these bits of the image. It's just that when you capture your video you get to see it all. Takes a bit of getting used to the first few times.

Thanks.
But it seems that the image is a little expanded.
I acquire at 352x288 with Matrox Marvel G200.

I noticed that, too when I captured a concert before. on the original VHS everything was perfectly visible, and the logo of the channel in the upper left-hand corner was entirely visible. Once I was done encoding and burned it to CDR, I played it on my Apex AD-703 and the channel's logo was pushed farther to the left, and therefore I couldn't see it fully anymore. I never figured out why... could it be that resizing to 352x240 is what is making it do this? My original capture back then was made on a Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP and it captured at 320x240.
