[MacDV] Re: Tv safe area in iDVD

[Gerhard Kuhn]

What the TV safe area displays is what will be seen on an "average" TV. 
  Each manufacturer's products are slightly different in the amount of 
cropping and the age and set up of the individual set also affects 
this.  So no matter how much you want to control this it is really 
beyond your ability to control.
