Edges chopped off after transfer to DV

I rendered my still picture montage to DV. The preview looks fine when previewing through VV, but when it transfers to DV, the screen seems to be larger than the display. If there's anything within about 1/2" of the edge of the camcorder screen, it gets cut off, hence I have cut off captions and tops of heads cut off. Is there a different way I need to transfer/render this to avoid this? TIA

You need to keep important areas of the pictures, and the captions,
within the "safe area" of the frame. Televisions always show the image
larger than what fits on the screen to allow for shrinkage as the picture
tube ages. If you look above the preview window, there is a blue grid
icon with a drop-down box after it. Pull down this menu and choose
"safe areas". Dashed rectangles appear on the preview window. Anything
that is inside the inner rectangle will show on a TV screen.
