Howdy -
Last month I created a series of videos using Sony Vegas Movie Studio 10. The videos are all HD-format, 720P, and include some captions typically located near the side or bottom of the frame.
Yesterday I burned all of these movies onto a Blu-Ray disc, along with a picture compilation. In the "Preview Disc" mode on my PC, everything looks great, but when I play the Blu-Ray disc on my TV, the image is zoomed in somewhat; many of my captions have been partially cropped off.
Question: where is this cropping/zooming happening? Is DVD Architect (I'm using Version 5.0, Build 128) doing it before it burns the Blu-Ray disc, or is it my TV, or is it my Blu-Ray disc player?
The TV is only 18 months old, a Panasonic 65" plasma (TH-58PZ850U). I've cycled through all of the display modes I can find, and none of them shows the entire original video material.
The Blu-Ray disc player is a Panasonic DMP-BD80, also about 18 months old. I haven't been able to find any settings in its menu that alter the output.
After browsing DVD Architect's menus and help files, I'm aware of the existence of "safe areas," but I'm unclear on the concept. If I've got 720HD source material, and I'm creating 720HD output material, how can anything be getting cropped off?
Right now my primary concern is verifying whether the material is uncropped/unzoomed on the disc itself, because I would like to send it to some relatives and know that they will be able to read all of the captions. My secondary concerned is getting it to display properly on my own TV.
Any help in understanding/solving the problem is greatly appreciated.
