Thanks everyone for your help.
Yes, Christoph, you have stated exactly what I am encountering. I brought
video directly into Encore and it went beyond the safe area guides. I burned
it anyway and played it on my Sony 27" TV. It happened to be a Lynda.com
tutorial and enough of the sides didn't display, so that it was useless. Then
as an experiment I brought it into Premiere and manually scaled it down to 80%
which was within the safe area guides, and rendered. Then I brought it into
Encore and it was now within the safe area guides. I burned it to disk and it
displayed perfectly on my TV. This got me curious, since all of the parameters
were the same in both files and I still don't know why they give me a different
result when scaled down with no obvious differences in the file stats. It must
be some obscure parameter that I am not seeing. So now if I want to produce a
watchable DVD I have to manually resize each video in Premiere so that it is
within the safe area
guides, render, and then import to Encore. I was hoping that this was a
common, simple issue but it seems not. I guess for now I will continue to
first scale down the individual snippets of video to 80% in Premiere, render,
and import to Encore, although it is labor intensive and frustrating.
Again, thanks to everyone for taking time and sharing your vast knowledge with
me. I now know more about the history of safe zones than I ever imagined I
would! If anyone has further ideas on how to accomplish my goal without the
hassle of manually scaling it and rendering please let me know. I have now got
a copy of DVD Studio Pro and am going to take a look at that. Thanks everyone.
