Ok mine is right inside the Action safe area. On track 1, I have like 150 powerpoint jpeg slides that are 960 X 720. I guess when I saved the slides from microsoft powerpoint to a jpeg that was the default dimensions. Would i have to resize the source files from microsoft powerpoint or is there a way to squeeze it inside the title safe area in vegas.

Thanks for you guys help

Ok I’m slightly confused on which is title safe area and action safe area but my video is right inside the 2nd outer dashed line. When I burn it to DVD it chops off valuable text. The size works out fine when I render as mpeg1 and burn it to DVD but I need mpeg 2 for the transitions/effects to show properly.
Not sure what to do.

I set it to those settings you recommended:
(720×480,29.970 fps mpeg2, template DVD NTSC) and rendered it. I then transferred it to DVD Architect. Everything is inside the safe area inner dotted line box but when I burn it to DVD and put it in 3 DVD players on 3 different TV the video is chopped off around the edges and I lose valuable text.
