Well, to start you should probably take a look at your mythtv specific 
gui size, playback picture size, and "overscan" (it's not real overscan 
in the TV image, it's the amount of the image to display out of the 
bounds of X, so it looks overscanned within the X window.  If you're 
changing to a different resolution to show the video than you have 
showing the UI, then it's possible you have your X config working well 
for your UI resolution, but your modeline that your videos play at is 
bad.  Try playing the videos at the same res as the UI is my guess.
