Quick question. I am encoding 4:3 PAL content over to 16x9 PAL content. For this project that 4:3 material has some small black borders on the sides (cropping the top/bottom is fine since this appears to be an open matte film). Doing the 16x9 I would end up cropping roughly 12 pixels from the left side and 6 pixels from the right in order to eliminate the black side borders. However I do not like the amount of stretch it gives the picture (knowing that I will have some stretch to begin with due to the type of conversion I want).
I was curious, I am still on and like my analog tv so I know I would not see the side borders to begin with, but does tv overscan still apply to the current/new 16x9 HD sets? I just wanted to know if someone where to view this if they would see the side black borders (assuming I do not cut any side pixels) or if it would still be hidden from overscan? Because if it does stay hidden I will re-do the project and not crop a thing from the sides
