Horisontal and vertical line overlay?

Hi, I am finished making a DVD in DVD Architect, but when I preview and plays the video it shows a horisontal and a vertical white line crossing the center of the image. What does that mean?

It could be a guide of some kind, depending on what mode you have the program in.

Can you post a screen capture of it so we can have a look?

It shows up in the entire video, and also after burning to dvd.
The video is rendered with the Cineform codec with Vegas 11. The file plays just fine without the white lines in windows media player.

Why did you encode the video with the Cineform codec if you're using it to make a DVD? I don't know why that would cause these lines -- but I also don't know why you'd want do that.

You ideally should use a video format as close as possible to your final DVD to take your video from Vegas to DVD Architect. An MPEG2 at 720x480, for instance.

All you do when you use a codec like Cineform is make DVD Architect work longer and hard than it needs to. (Use a 720x480 MPEG2 and your DVD encoding will only take a few minutes!)

I did it because I do archive my edited videos in that format. But I will try to render it as mpeg2 tomorrow and see if the lines disappears..
