Overscan is back
Authored by: Grecy on May 04, '03 10:24:55PM

The constant dimming you are seeing is the macrovision protection that is in a DVD.

When a DVD is played, signals are also sent which control the auto-contrast feature of newer VCR's. This is to prevent people from pluggin a DVD player straight into a VCR and copying all the DVD's they wish.

To avoid this happening, make sure there is no VCR plugged into your system (ie. is your computer connected to your VCR then to the TV?) I would connect the computer directly to the TV and remove all VCR's from the chain.

Hope this helps
