Easily sorted by cropping 8 pixels off the bottom before resizing.

Diggity!!

Now I know, thanks for the real facts!!

Here's the lowdown on how I scread it up....

I cropped it in the first version but the stream also has a few commercials that were not cut and the switch from DD 2.0 back to DD 5.1 really got screwed so the sync dropped at varying places (when using the ripped ac3 file with a delay) it was hell to correct so I used the resulting AC3 from HDTV2DVD (not the video though) and remuxed that with the TMPGEnc video I encoded... BUT after the few encoding tests and such (for better results) I ended up loading all new settings in TMPGEnc then muxed the video, checked sync (fine) deleted the .TS files, then authored the DVD only then did I notice the grey line

You see I honestly spaced out the cropping of the final version!!! I should have redone the encoding but I started the Blade Runner video shortly after.... This set should have gone smoother but the audio stream just drove me crazy and I took the fast way out after three days of messing with it.
