DVDAS TV shift to the left?

I created one of my training DVDs today using DVDAS. Superb piece of kit. I have one problem though.
I am creating a menu based DVD. Front sceen is standard theme. I have a title top left and Logo bottom right. I have buttons and text. All works fine, I have set everything within the title save area. The media I am using is 640* 480 Camtasia (techsmith) codec avi.
When I create the DVD and play it on my TV it fills the screen ok but I loose a small portion of the main screen and avi sceen to the left hand side. To give you an example my training files are my program running on a win XP screen. When playing the start button (bottom left) is not visible because the screen has shifted across about 2mc to the left.

Any suggestions please?

Make sure everything that you need to see on a TV is away from the edges. Televisions mask off up to 10% of the image.

Yep I had done this. I think I have found the main problem, it seems I rendered in NTSC instead of PAL. I cannot see how this happened because I am sure I set it up first, I had had no previous problem and did it again in PAL and all seems OK.

The other issue I have is the movies I have created using the Techsmith codec.
When they play they stretch full screen, thus losing the edge. I orginally produced them in Camtasia at 640*480 avi.
Is there any way I can place them on the screen at a smaller size (say on a black background) in DVDAS so they don't get clipped on a TV.

Not in DVDAS but you should be able to do this in Movie Studio.
