No one who knows why this is happening?
Maybe I can work around it by using "render to new track", and one of the formats that didn't get the border/edge. But it's not supposed to be like that...?

If the only solution is to "render to new track", what format to use not to lose quality?

Maybe no one is responding because you haven't provided enough information.

Source media properties?
Project properties?
Effect settings?
Render properties?

At least with that information, someone might have a fighting chance at duplicating your observation.

Source is Canon HG20 full HD (1920x1080) 30p. I use the "match media settings" button in project properties, and changeing the field order to "none (prog scan)".

Here is i picture that shows all my fx-settings:

I render to MPEG-2, template DVD Architect Widescreen video stream.

Ok, after more testing, I found out it got something to do with NTSC/PAL. I have a NTSC camera, but live in Europe, so rendering to PAL. When I render to NTSC the border/edge is not there.

When I have made and tested a NTSC-dvd before, the quality was not as god as PAL. Hmm.. Maybe I should do some more testing to find the best solution.

I have used a lot of different fx, and made multiple videos, but never noticed any problems with NTSC-camera render to PAL before.

One thing you can do to isolate problems like this is set the Project Properties to match the output rather than the media, in this case PAL SD Widescreen. You may have to add your effects again from scratch to see exactly how they will look in the output.

The only drawback to this strategy is that preview playback may be impacted.

I did try to set the Project Properties to PAL, but it didn't help. Should I try to add my effects again, or will this only have impact on the preview?

Setting your project properties to the output dimensions and format, and then adding your effects anew, will practically ensure that wysiwhg in the output. If you stick with that rendering format, the only hit you should take is in preview playback performance. You can always switch back to your "match media" settings to check the preview.

Ok. But it's 100 clips and different complicated and variated FX on each clip. So I don't think I wil bother adding the fx one more time on all the clips.

I think it wil work to "render to new track". What format should I use not to loose quality?

Try changing you project properties without changing the fx. If it works and the preview is now representative of the output, fine. So much the better.

I just know that in "some" instances, they may adapt to the original project properties and not adapt on their own. So if anything, my advice errs on the side of caution. Try it and draw your own conclusions (save your project first).

Rendering to new track will not do any good, for the reasons stated above. Do you understand that I suggested changing the project properties to better represent the output? They do not change the output. Good luck.
