I have tried to play now with the parameter "-w" from tosvcd, which
influences the ACTIVE_REGION Value for yuvscaler, but with no success, or at
least with the success that the picture with the VCD Plugin in VDR is
now without the videotext artefacts (-w1). And that is much better.

But my standaloneplayer has still difficulties to play this movie. I
have found out that the player (GRUNDIG GDV 130) is not switching to
16:9. That means lost area on both sides on the screen. That explains
also why the picture is shaking from left to right. The sync pulses of
the videosignal are disturbed because somthing of the picture content
is going into the horizontal Blanking gap (Austastlücke für Zeilen
rücklauf). I will check this weekend the firmware of this player.
Maybe an update will help. Its downloadable and flashable by a CD.

Kind regards

( I like to here more about your progressing experiments with a chain
to TMPEGenc. If you have real success let us know, please! )
