Hi Claudio, Yes, you will see the VCD in full screen on your TV if your DVD player supports CD-R media. I wish you good luck with this. You would be surprised how many DVD players don't support CD-R. You might want to go to www.vcdhelp.com and look at the DVD compatibility list to see if you have a chance of it working. Will you lose image quality? Absolutely! You may be disappointed to see that the VCD you see on your PC does not look as good when you play it on your TV. You will notice more blockiness for sure on your TV because the larger image magnifies the flaws.
