Well if you have some suggestions for NVIDIA cards, I have my 6200 pci-e card
sitting right here, I'll pop it in and mess around w/ the Control Panel
options if you think it would solve the issue. Thanks for all your support so
far,

Apparently ATI and NVIDIA handle underscan compensation defiantly. ATI is
only doing it between your desktop and your graphics card input and not from
any sources to the graphics card to the graphics card output.
I use a Nvidia card so regretfully I can not offer any more suggestions.

Yes I had been using VGA up until a few days ago, and switched back for a
test after reading your post (hadn't tested it on new ATI HD 2400 card)
but
it still doesn't fix the Media Center videos when played. The overscan
options in the ATI Control Panel adjust the display on my desktop but do
nothing for the videos when they're played in Media Center. I also messed
with almost every other option in the ATI Control Panel and I didn't find
anything that made the video resize when played through Vista's Media
Center....

HDTVs normally overscan the inputs over these HDMI/DVI in order to

standard CRT TV.
If your HDTV has a VGA interface use that for PC desktop applications
since
normally VGA interfaces are not overscanned since the VGA interface is
designed for PCs.
The latest card drivers from the Nvidia and ATI Websites have overscan
compensation capabilities so you can shrink the output so that when it is
expanded/overscanned it fits properly.

I have set my Vista operating system to 1360 x 768 and also setup Vista
Media
Center's Display Calibration options to use 1360 x 768 resolution, but
when I
watch a video it's hugely oversized and doesn't fit. When I watch the
sample
video of the billiards players for example, the video isn't tall enough
or
wide enough to see everything.

I have tried a Nvidia 6200 pci-e card and am currently using a ATI
Sapphite
HD 2400XT (both had newest drivers) and using a DVI-HDMI cable for
connection. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
