Test Pattern to download somewhere ?

[Ysl]

Hello all

Is there somewhere some test pattern that I can download to burn a DVD for adjusting my TV ?

Thanks

Hello Ysl,
Most THX dvd disc's have a setup test on them, it let you setup your tv picture and sound, like the Starwars dvd and alot more.

perhaps this test card will be of some use

Here's one I made for my own 16/9 TV -it should be the exact size required for PAL use. (it looks squeezed up on a PC screen because of course a 16/9 TV will 'stretch' it out to the proper format.

and a 4/3 one here:

These are computer generated and not taken from a screen shot, so should be nice and sharp. They're online somewhere and I tidied them up a bit.

Right click on each link, 'save target as' option to save as a picture to your PC then import to a video edit/DVD making program.

I found that with Pinnacle Studio9 I couldn't quite get them centralised and sized up properly ( the castlelated edges were not hidden enough compared to a 'real' testcard) but they do help with alignments.
