I've just got my MVP and am very pleased with it but when displaying MPEG1 (music) videos, there's a black band at the bottom of the screen. Does everyone else get this too? It looks as if maybe the picture is being pushed up by 2 inches (on a 28" WS TV) although it's fine for MPEG2 files and the normal GB-PVR screen.

It happens using the Hauppauge software, as well as under GB-PVR, so it's clearly something wrong at the MVP end but I thought I'd ask here anyway as you're all using it too.

Also, is there any way of adjusting GB-PVR to fill the screen? There's a small border around it at all times.

Are you watching an NTSC MPEG1 video (720x480) on a PAL MVP (72x576)? This could result in about two of black at the bottom of video - depending on the size of your TV.

Yes, you can adjust the size of the GB-PVR screens on the MVP. Look in the config.xml file.

That could well be it. It got a bit late to go through a few of them to check formats, etc. but that could explain it. Do you know of a solution or is there a program that would convert them from NTSC to PAL? I hadn't even thought about it before as the PC plays both and my DVD player doesn't care either.

Great stuff, thanks.
