Sony vegas over scan.
Hi, I need some advice on getting rid of overscan becuase when I view my project on my computer screen it looks fine but when imported and burned using DVD architect then view on a TV screen there are clear signs of overscan and the sides of the video are missing. I browsed the web looking for a solution and some people suggest using the track motion tab and making the video smaller, while others suggest using the event pan and crop. The trouble is if I use any of these the video goes all for a better word “wobbly” and “wavy” around any edges in the footage, I cant really explain but it is more noticeable when there is movement in the shot.
Is there any way I can use either the track motion/event pan and crop to “zoom out” so when I play the video back through DVD all of the image is there.
I am using the pal dv wide-screen 25fps template and am rendering using mpeg2, with the DVD architect pal wide-screen template using all of the default settings except I have checked “two pass” as recommended by allot of Vegas users.
Just a note the wobbly lines do appear in both the preview window and in the rendered video.
Thanks!

This is normal. When you shoot your video, you need to be aware of the 10% action safe area that you should keep your video within. Every TV hides a different amount of the picture so 10% is just a guide and anything you do to make the image smaller will risk seeing black lines on a TV that shows more than another. In sort, this is how TV works. Adjust your shooting style accordingly.
Track Motion and Pan/Crop are the only two ways to make the image smaller. Making the image smaller by small amounts will soften the image as pixels get blended. Some of the blending may create wavy line. Like I said, it’s unnatural to try and fix this.

Ah ok, so there is no settings I can use to remove these wavy lines? At first I did not know anything about over scan until I noticed that on my TV with close up footage peoples heads are cut off and on my laptop it looks fine on Vegas.
I don’t mind the wavy lines during editing but it needs to look correct when viewed back on DVD.
