DVD Zooming?? HELP!! Please :)

[misterm]

Hi, and thanks for taking time to view!!

I recently obtained a Telesync(TS).
Here is the info:
XVID MPEG-4
Resolution: 576 x 302
Framerate: 25 fps

I converted and burnt to DVDR(esa DVDR) and attempted to play it back.
When I did the picture had been cut of around it.
i.e. if its supposed to say: Twisted Pictures it is cut off to: wisted Picture

I have used the following tools and got the same result: DVDSanta, VSO DivxtoDVD.

Also, when I reveiw the converted .VOB files- they are fine!

The video was converted to NTSC 720 x 480

Help me!

What resolution did you convert it to. DVD has some very standard resolutions.

A 25 fps = PAL video, your normal resolution would be 720 x 576

I forgot I wanted it to be NTSC-
I converted to 720 x 480

Have you seen this guide?

[misterm]

Yes, I have that software.

I think the DVD conversion is fine( the video wasn't cut off-or zoomed in)-but when I burn to DVD, I think this is where it goes wrong.

Well-If 25 FPS is PAL, and I want it to be able to play on USA dvd player, isnt this a problem?
(and if I have to burn via PAL, is 576 x 302 4:3 or 16:9)

[blutach]

Normally yes. Easiest is to get a player that plays PAL. Look at the sticky in Authoring & Editing forum on converison from PAL to NTSC.

Ok thanks for your time!!

Ok, its fixed now! I converted Xvid to PAL and then PAL to NTSC!

That has fixed it! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

[blutach]

But don't thank me - thank the brilliant authors of the guides.
