Just curious as to what settings you used to digitize your footage initially -
was it set for 640 x 480 NTSC, or another setting?  I haven't used Pinnacle
products for awhile, but wondered if there's a feature in Studio 8 that will let
you convert your captured footage to another ratio?

Hello colleagues,
We have been working very hard here on a DVD documentary of contemporary
social poetry in Spain.  After 2 years of field work collecting footage,
editing, and numerous technical glitches, we're nearing the finish
line.  I know just enough about Pinnacle Studio 8, DV, firewire, and
burning DVDs to get myself into trouble.  Our current situation is that
the DVD plays beautifully on a computer monitor but not so hot on a TV
w/DVD player.  That is, the image is cut off on the top, bottom, and
sides.  I know that this has to do with aspect ratios, letterbox, and
the like but haven't a clue as to what, if anything, we can do in our
editing process to address this.  Anybody out there have some suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Carine
