Green line on right edge

Question

I have a bright green line appearing along the right side of the movie in the DVD presentation. I have read over other people similar problems in this forum but none of their solutions worked for me.
I am creating a slideshow in iphoto, using non-DRM music from itunes, and putting it together in iDVD. But once the movie burned onto a disk a green line appears on the right side. I have tried trimming the size of the movie in quicktime. I have tried setting the quality to professional in iDVD. I even restarted the iDVD project and still, every time, I find a bright green boarder on the right.
What else can I do to get rid of it? I have wasted some 10 DVDs on this and the money for registering quicktime but still no solution. Thank you.

Answer 1

Aspect may be a hair off. I'm thinking you might get better results with with 854 x 480 (assuming you are working with widescreen / ntsc format).
To quote iDvd's Help Menu:
About resizing images for menu backgrounds
You can use images to create backgrounds for menus. iDVD works with most image formats supported by QuickTime (including JPEG, TIFF, and PDF).
Images in a menu background are automatically cropped to fit the standard DVD window size, but the aspect ratio of the original image is preserved. For example, a picture taken vertically (also known as “portrait format”) may appear with black bands on either side of it to fill out the screen. If you want an image to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to resize the image before bringing it into iDVD. Resize to these dimensions:
◼
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
◼
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
◼
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
◼
1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format
Preparing images for iDVD slideshows
You can use photos, movies, presentation slides (created in a program such as Keynote), or other image files in a slideshow created in iDVD. iDVD works with any image file that is supported by QuickTime (including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF.) You can also use photos directly from your iPhoto library.
Images and movies in a slideshow are scaled to fit the standard DVD window size, but the aspect ratio is preserved. For example, a picture taken vertically (also known as “portrait format”) may have black bands on either side of it to fill out the screen. If you want an image to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to resize the image before bringing it into iDVD. (It is not possible to resize movies.) Resize to these dimensions:
◼
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
◼
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
◼
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
◼
1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format
You can also make sure images in iDVD are always scaled to a size that will fit within the area visible on most TV screens, or the “TV safe area.”
To fit slides into the TV safe area:
Choose iDVD > Preferences.
Click Slideshow.
Select the checkbox labeled “Always scale slides to TV Safe Area.”
