Hi,
My dog has acquired a taste for DVD's, so I decided to save some of my DVD's by storing them on my computer. To save space I want to convert them to divx. To do this I bought TmpgEnc Xpress. I tried it on one of the DVD's. However the divx has a big black border around the screen, that wasn't there in the original DVD. I've searched some forums (including this one) but cannot figure out what it is I'm doing wrong.
I hope someone will help.
First I select the main video file from the DVD, using the Source wizard.

I understand it is important to make the divx in the same resolution as the original. As you can see, the original is 720x576.
I hit "edit"
Attachment 16493
Again 720x576pixels, aspect ratio PAL 16x9
I hit "filters"

The filter "picture resize" is always on, I can't turn it of. Someone suggested to turn of the "keep aspect ratio" I tried it with this one on and off, both with the same result. I also tried changing "full screen" into "full screen (without border) with the same result.
After this I hit "OK"

As you can see, the divx should be 720x576 pixels, aspect ratio PAL16x9, just like the original DVD.

And this is a screencap from the outputed file. It has a big annoying black border. When I try to play it on my TV the border is even bigger
I'm at a loss, so I really hope someone can help me out.
