Hi-

more exactly, the standalone dvd players send to the tv set only the central 704(702-711?) pels

Are you sure about that? I can enter the service menu of my TV and move the picture to the right or left, up or down, and see the parts of the picture that are getting cut off. As near as I can tell, I'm losing at least 16 pixels from both the right and left. So, when I create SVCDs, I'll put 16 pixels of black along the right and left sides so that I can actually see almost all of the picture. Some DVDs will also have black on the left and right sides to allow for the overscan.
