[Tony Cook] “But on a 4:3 screen, while the whole image is present with nothing cut off, it’s streched, so my subject’s head and body are the wrong proportions”
What you are describing is anamorphic 16:9 DV(you didn’t mention PAL or NTSC, I’ll assume NTSC), SD widescreen and SD 4:3 have the same pixel count, 720X480, the only difference is the pixel aspect ratio, 1.2 WS, .9 SD, so if you show WS in 4:3 the sides are smushed in giving the appearance of vertical stretch -
[Mark Havens] “MPEG2-dvd and but the problem is the audio is being exported as a separate file.”
If you want a combined file make sure you have multiplexing selected, just open the multiplexer tab thats below the export settings, if multiplexer is set to “none” it will export Elementary Streams.

Try reducing the resolution a step or two on the large monitor and see if the overlay comes back on the smaller monitor

[Frank Rosetti] “my friends kid with a $700.00 canon that 3 months old that shoots HD video an some cheap software he uses makes cleaner video.”
One reason is the kiss principle, edit in hd(Whatever flavor), let the software downconvert and author, burn DVD
If you are using a normal NTSC DVD player its going to end up as 720×480 anamorphic for SD WS, which can be about 500 tvlines depending about the bitrate used to encode, thats why one of the paths that can be used is to downconvert in the cam and edit as DV, you will still get some artifacts, but minimized its the nature of the beast at DV resolution.
Another way is to edit in HDV, save as HD mpeg2 or other HD flavor on a USB drive and playback with a WD player(if you have HDMI inputs on your TVs) which will give full resolution -
Are you using CamStudio or Camtasia? they are two different apps, one is open source, the other is a commercial app.

Did you have this problem before you updated the drivers and attempted to fix it by updating.

The downconversion in most NLEs is not too hot, it seems that everyone thought that most outputs would be to a HD disk format and didn’t bother with quality downconversion, There are a few ways to get decent SD DVDs, 1. is to use the camera’s HDV to DV downconversiion and capture as DV, edit as DV and burn to DVD, the downconverted video is usually better than the video from most DV cams. 2nd way is to use open source software like VirtualDub with the Lanczos3 filter for downconversion(There are various places on the net with info on this, just search for “VirtualDub HDV downconversion”) another way is to use a intermediate codec and output to dvd from that.
