I've been trying for hours and hours to burn a DVD that fills the screen. I have both wide and old style tv's and I can't get rid of the black border either on the sides if I choose to burn 4 to 3 ratio or a box with border all around if I switch to burn 16-9. I'm trying to match project properties to render but its a pretty complicated deal once things go off the rails. I have "adjust source media to better match..." checked.

template I am on now is HD 1080 60i (1920x1080 fps) 29.70 NTSC, 1000 square.

render as: Mainconcept MPEG-2. Template Program stream NTSC (which shows in specs 720x480 29.97 fps.

I have render options set to stretch.

 

DVD burner set now to MPEG-2 720-480 60i 4:3 NTSC... this setting is giving me black bars on each side. When I change to 16:9 option I get video in a box. Inch or two border around every video.

Any ideas would be appreciated! thanks much
