I've just finished my longest video project in a while...over one hour of video of my kids' camp show with transitions and a few video fx's thrown in, followed by 30+ high quality jpeg stills with pan and zoom effects added to the stills, with an imported .wma music background for the stills. The project settings were set for widescreen dv. I rendered the project to my hard disk as an .avi file. The render took over 15 hours, but was flawless! I then opened the .avi file in DVDAS to create my DVD. I again set the output for widescreen, set my chapter points and rendered. This render took 5 hours, but again was perfect. The resulting DVD was played to oohs and aahs of the family tonight, but I saw 2 problems that I'm wondering about...
1. My audio output, when played back on my 5.1 home theater setup, only comes out of my center channel audio speaker...no stereo at all. It sounds OK, but I'd really like my stereo sound back...what did I do wrong???
2.When the video is played on my widescreen TV, I get black bars along the sides of my display...the screen is not filled despite my setting the project and DVD settings for widescreen...Again, what did I do wrong???
As always, help is appreciated!
