i have 4:3 project. i used celluliod to make it 16:9.

i want to make it high definition, but when put hd in properties there is a thin Black line on the top and bottom. is this normal?

if i render it as a hd file, will dvda have to rerender it?

Since DVD video does not support any of the HD standards, yes, DVDA will re-compress the file into an SD format.

... put hd in properties ...

Are you referring to Vegas or DVD Architect here? If you're referring to DVDA, then I think you mean "widescreen" rather than "hd." DVD Architect doesn't even give you the option of high definition because, as yet, there are no high definition DVDs. (Meaning, formats are being discussed and experimented with, but there's no standard for them yet.)

That said, if you do mean widescreen...how "thin" are the black lines? If they don't even extend inside the action-safe area, I wouldn't worry about it. If they do, are you sure your video is 16:9 or is it a 4:3 video that's been matted to look like 16:9?
