Try using a re-writeable DVD (DVD +RW / DVD -RW) and viewing it on your TV screen. You might find that those edges are not visible due to the TV Overscan area.

The reason I suggest a re-writeable DVD is that you can later erase and re-use it rather than wasting a DVD R

Perhaps you could provide us with a screen dump so that we can see what the problem is?
I take it that the edges concerned were still visible when viewed on your TV screen?

Use an LCD or Plasma TV. AFAIK, these do not suffer from the overscan problem. It is not a problem of the program. It's a fact of life that normal TV's do not show the full video frame. Compare what you see on your TV with what you see in preview on your PC. The overscan area is between 10 to 15% on each side.

You can "fix" it by running the whole video in a stationary moving path which is 10 to 15% smaller on each side. If it is, as usual, only the titles which are cut off on the sides (the video usually doesn't suffer too much), you will have to keep your titles in the title safe area, after setting this up to the right amount, within the titler window.
