One way (of many) is to put the Lens Flare on a black solid and use the free plug-in, Unmult. Unmult will recreate the opacity or alpha channel of a layer based on the luminance of the image.
YOu can find the plug here:

You could also try Wave World (under Simulation>Wave World). It creates an amazing looking displacment map.. very realistic.
Set it to “height map” and there is your displacement map.
But, this might be a little TOO wavy for what you are trying to achieve. Just thought I’d mention it.

Perhaps a gradient wipe.

If you are trying to move the Brush position…
1) Select all of the keyframe for brush position
2) Park your playback head on one of those keyframe
3) Change your x or y value in the timeline window by click/hold/drag the value for x/y in the effect parameter for that layer

Maybe this is a stupid suggestion, but I’ve seen some of my students ask this… and I found many of them were ZOOMING into the text in the AE Comp window, not scaling the text.
And yes, make sure the continuously rasterize switch (MAN that switch needs a shorter name) is ON.

I was assuming that he wanted remove the entire car from the shot.

Oh yes.. sorry. You are right. iDVD doesn’t handle pixel aspects of 9:5.
What about this..
Put the final comp into a d1/dv comp, and fitting the comp to size (opt/command-F or alt/ctrl-F).
This should deliver the proper aspect that iDVD is looking for.

Out of curiosity, was this a project that moved between platforms?

Absolutely! In 3D stroke, go to the Camera section, twirl that open. There you will see “Comp Camera” with a checkbox next to it. Check that box.
The ‘orbit camera tool’ is excellent for this kind of stuff. Hit “c” on your keyboard to access it, or you can find it in the Tools palette.

What are you format and codec are you rendering to?
It sounds like you might me rendering this to a DV format, which will look terrible, especially with serif type.
If this is for DVD, there is nothing stopping you from rendering to a lossless format, and using that as your source in iDVD.
