This sounds like it is a NTSC video. Unfortunately the VDR OSD is not
resized to the smaller NTSC picture so the last lines on the screen are
dropped (or below the visable range). You can see this also if you bring
the TV program on screen while watching a video. The last lines are cut off.

Not yet. I don't know whether this is a driver issue or a VDR issue, but
I think it should be handled by one of these two possibilities.
I can think of ugly workarounds in the script (connecting to the SVDRP
port and changeing the OSD size, resetting it afterwards), but I'm not
willing to do this, as I think it is the wrong way.

Any comments or suggestions?

Cheers,
Juri
