'Play DVD' problem
When I use 'Play DVD', everything works perfect. Except the image is too large - My PVR is also my main computer. Computer moniter for my PC (1280x1024), and SVideo cable from my PC to my TV (640x480). When a DVD is played through Sage on my TV - for some reason it looks way too large, probably at 1280x1024 and only half of the picture is visible. If anyone knows a fix for this, please let me know. Thanks

How do you have your displays set up.

Not positive I understand what you are asking - but here are my two displays:

Display 1: Sony Computer Moniter - 1280x1024 - PRIMARY MONITER
Display 2: Panasonic TV - 640x480 - WINDOWS EXTENDED TO THIS DESKTOP

Does Sage start and size itself correctly on that monitor? Is it just DVDs that cause that problem?

What decoder are you using? Are you using VMR9 or Overlay?

640x480 is not a commonnly a choice for svideo... Have you tried setting your screen to 800x600, and does the dvd work properly?

Decoder: Default - I'd assume that is Overlay

I changed my screen resolution to 800x600 - Sage adjusted to this, but still have the same problem when playing DVD's.
