Been using PD for 3 years, but have never had to burn to a DVD. Today I tired it and it didn't come out so well. The project is in 1080, 16:9, and when produced on a DVD the vertical height is OK, but the left and right edges are cropped. When viewed on a computer, rather than a DVD player hooked up to a HD TV, it seems to play fine... sometimes. Is there a way a 16:9 can be burned to a DVD and maintaim the aspect ratio even if it has to be "letterboxed" (the black bits top and bottom that allow for that aspect ratio to work)? I know DVD players for TV's aren't all the same, but is there a setting that will consistantly work with the majority of them? Should I be using a lower resolution? Is there a "magic button" setting to make all this work out and save me from myself?
I'm stumped - so any guidance as to produce settings or "tricks" would be greatly appreciated!
