DVD Screen size

[juliart08]

You guys who have been following my VS 11.5 + dilemma. Here is the latest. After saving copies of the project at intervals 4 times and at 2 different places, it seemed OK. I go to share and set up to burn on a HP DVD+RW at 4x. Everything seemed to go OK. I got the message "successful Operation" Then I go to play the the DVD and it plays back with a screen area of 1/4 in the upper left corner. I hit full screen and it still stays in the left corner, small, no full screen.

Here are the settings before burning:
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Lower Field First
(DVD-NTSC), 4:3
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 256 kbps
Dolby Digital Audio, 48 KHz, 2/0(L,R)

I wonder if Corel ever looks at this forum. I sure must have the Corel curse. I have been using Corel Draw since it was version 3 and now use 8. I even wrote an article for their online forum about Digital Photography. I always thought that anything they had was the best. Now I'm not so sure!

What did you play it back on, your pc or a set top player?

Also you gave your setting before burning. What about your actual burn settings? When you get to the burn window (Share>Create Disc) you will see a cogwheel icon in the lower left. What are those properties?

Jeff,

I think those are the burn settings too. I've been working with him on this. He did have a strange situation, where in his PC and more expensive stand-alone DVD player this would happen. However playing it on a cheap stand-alone player, the DVD played fine...
