Sorry, thought you meant it was cropping on the TV monitor…
Unlike After Effects and Premiere, which automatically use the newest version of an element (so long as it has the same name) Encore does not. If you make any changes in Photoshop, you must delete the original from Encore and import the new one.

The problem isn’t with Encore, its with the monitors. All TV monitors have what’s called “overscan”, which means that the image on the screen is at least 10% enlarged. On older sets it can be as much as 20%.
To be sure your menu displays properly, design it so that all buttons and text fit within what post production people call “tv safe”, a rectangle centered in your 720×480 frame that measures no larger than 648×432 (10% smaller than the whole frame).
Also, I don’t know if this could be a factor, but only professional NTSC is 720×486. Consumer DV is 720×480.
