Please friends some one can help me to resizes image in DVDA, like Match output screen in Vegas 4.
If I have to do on Vegas is necessary to re-render the clip?
thanks so much

I for one am confused over how you phrased your question.

Resize what? The videos you're buring on the DVD? If thats' it File/Properties.

If you mean images, as in those you drag to the work space, then once you do at least one click View/show Transform Bar, then change the X Y values to whatever you wish. First select the object you wish to change. Or you can select the object, then select the sizing tool which puts handles around the object you selected and you can resize that way. If you want to make minor changes like get rid of black bars at the top/bottom sides of your video, then yes, you would need to rework the project in Vegas.

Now that I know what the problem is....

In VEGAS, click on event pan/crop button that at the end of your event. When your video opens in the work window, click on first key frame, then right click on the video in the work area and select 'match output aspect" That should fill the frame and get rid of the black bars.

But we have to re-encode again.
I would like to use old video to produce home DVD and make this work in the DVDA and then encode to MPEG2 only one time, if we use Vegas to do it is two times encode.
Thanks Billy, all the best

As far as I know there is no way to do it in DVD-A. The probably reason is it would duplicate what Vegas does. Since you can't buy DVD-A seperately it would be redudant I guess. <wink>

While it would take awhile rerendering should really hurt the quality if you started off with good quaity. Have you tried to burn a test DVD and see if the bars show on the TV you plan to view the finished DVD on? It could be the blank (black) areas fall in the overscan area and you'll never see them when the DVD is viewed on a TV. You can get an idea by switching on Action Safe Area under Options.
