NTSC Project – 650×480 instead of 720×480
I’m making a NTSC Encore project, I’ve created 720×480 menus in Photoshop, however when I go into Encore, and set the project to NTSC, then import the menus, they are displayed at 100% as 650×480. I can’t figure out why this is happening, any help would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly is the problem? Is it that menus are displayed with square pixels in Encore?

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that everything, not just the menus, but the video too, all appears as 650×480 instead of 720×480 in the project. 720×480 is the proper Ntsc resolution, where as 650×480 is not. How do I see if the menus are set to square pixels? I can’t find anywhere to set this.

720×480 menus and video have non-square pixels.
Encore’s not changing the dimensions (or pixel aspect ratio) of anything – it’s doing pixel aspect ratio correction in Encore so that it looks in Encore as it will look when you view the DVD on a television. If Encore didn’t do this correction, everything would look distorted.
If you want to see the menu without pixel aspect ratio correction (for whatever reasons you might have), you can do that with the PAR button on the bottom of the menu editor, which switches between corrected and not corrected.
