The cropping occurs even in the Vegas editing window during render, although it does not occur when just playing back without rendering.
I’m really at a loss here. This is a huge project that has already been edited and I’m not sure what to do.
What do you think about rendering with the HDV 720-25p settings for DVD? Is that file size too big for DVD? This is the only render setting that does not produce the cropping because with this setting that makes the render PAR 1.000 which seems to at least get rid of that cropping.
