Activity Forums Adobe Encore DVD Menu inside Title Safe still cropped

  • Menu inside Title Safe still cropped

    Ice created a menu. All the buttons and titles are within the title safe area and yet they are still
    cropped when I play the dvd on my tv. Its a headache. Why is that happening. Im playing the dvd on a widescreen television.

    Ive actually solved the problem. I edited the menu in photoshop and Noticed that in the
    “VIEW – PIixel aspect ratio” It was set to widescreen so i changed that to DV PAL.

    Alan,
    what kind of DVD you are trying to create PAL or NTSC? 4:3 or 16:9? these are the major qestion at first, and which CS-suite you are using?

    depending on the tv-standart the sceens have different resolutions:

    PAL: 720×576
    NTSC: 720×480

    but adobe changed some informations on the pixel-aspec-ratios from CS4 to CS5.

    if you are working with square pixels, you have 1024×576 for PAL (16:9) or 864×486 for NTSC (16:9), but adobe has changed these values from CS4 to CS5.

    now they are different, for example PAL has now 1050×576 – this is confusing, your right, and a lot problems came with that idea as well.

    cheers
