Practically speaking, no. You could perhaps compensate for it on a 
specific TV, if you knew how much the overscan was. But it might be 
cropped, or show a black border on another TV. The crop amount is just 
somewhere in the TV safe area, but since it varies from one TV to 
another, you're pretty much hosed unless you don't mind having a black 
border around your image (I have done that before). Does NTSC suck, or 
what?
