68 ULEAD DVD WORKSHOP USER GUIDE
Output Display Options
When creating DVD projects, you can assign settings to your titles to specify how
they should be displayed on TV screens. To change the display setting, right-click a
thumbnail in the Title List then select Output Display Options.
The Output Display Options dialog box contains the following:
Display aspect ratio Displays the aspect ratio of the selected title.
On standard TV Displays different options on how titles that have display aspect
ratios of 16:9 will be displayed on a standard TV.
• Letterbox only Select if you want the DVD player to recognize the letterbox
properties of the video. The letterbox process preserves the entire frame and
proportionally reduces the size so that the whole picture fits on the TV screen.
Proportional display reduction will result in mattes (black bands) above and
below the image.
• Pan & Scan only Select if you want the DVD player to recognize the pan &
scan properties of the video.
• Both letterbox and pan & scan Select if you want the DVD player to
recognize both the letterbox and pan & scan properties of the video. Usually, to
preserve the entire picture of a 16:9 video on a standard TV, the mattes are
used to cover up the unused areas on the screen.
