    Hi!

    I am new in these parts and would love any tips/suggestions you can offer.

    I checked in the FAQ’s and I have done the exact steps suggested ie Compressor (DVD 90 Minutes High Quality) > DVD Studio Pro but when I try to burn my video (1280×720) to DVD, the DVD looks great on my computer…but on a SD TV, it looks squashed and the edges are cut off. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Or is there any way I can burn it so that it plays letterboxed?

    Thank you very much.

    You are missing one small step.

    Mare sure you have DVD Studio Pro in advance mode. (Window>Configurations>Advanced — or fn+f3)

    Import your video asset and drag it up into the Graphical window. It will create a new track. Click on that track then go to the track window (bottom right) and change the display mode from 4:3 to 16:9 letterboxed.

    Then do whatever other menu programming you want to, link your assets, and burn the disc.

    Hi Brian – thanks for your response! Unfortunately the video asset *is* in the graphical window and the display mode is 16:9 letterboxed….
