DVDA Masking Issues (with video example)
Hi, I’m working on a DVD and I’ve made the menu and everything is ready for duplication, but whenever I put the DVD in the player and view it on the TV, the text mask is out of alignment with the button. On the computer and the portable DVD player, it’s fine. My project is 16:9, and the menu is also the same. I’ve been trying to figure this out now for a week, but everything I’ve tried falls short of fixing it. What I’m doing is using photoshop project files as a mask over the buttons. So you see the image “play video”. Below is what I see on my computer and it’s fine.

Hi Kris,
I would not be looking for an alternative to DVD-A as you have exactly what you want. I would almost bet that if you take your DVD to some electronic store and play the menu in several different DVD players, the majority (if not all) of them will show it correctly.
It would seem that the issue is not so much how DVD-A coded the menu’s but more so how your current set top player decodes it. It seems that your DVD player is reading something wrong.
Please test the DVD in several other players and brands and see how it displays. I think you will find it is an issue with your dvd player and not the disc or DVD-A.

Thanks Jeremy for your response. I struggled all day yesterday trying to figure out what was up. After a good nights sleep and some meditative thinking, I found out what was wrong. USER ERROR! I had the project setting wrong. There are 2 settings for NTSC widescreen format and I had the wrong one, go figure. All I did was change the setting to 720×480 widescreen and it fixed it! 704×480 widescreen was the other setting that threw it all off. I’m glad that’s settled, because I really didn’t want to try and find another alternative. There really isn’t much out there for pc software that is as flexible. Thanks again.
