IDVD menu edges are getting clipped

I have been struggling hard to burn a 70 min DVD (movies + slideshow) to play it on my dvd player. It looks like i have to switch to some other DVD burning software (nero) because of not able to solve the problems:
1. Edges are getting clipped .
I have set the aspect ratio to standard 4:3 and set up the DVD player video to be 4:3 LB.
2. Whenever I inserted the DVD into my DVD player it displays the menu correctly(clipped edges). I can click and view any of the option's video but after viewing the video if I try to go back to menu its displaying blank screen just highlighting the cursor.
3. While playing the slideshow (with page flip effect) I am seeing that each photo hangs for a second before getting flipped to next photo.
4. After viewing the slideshow If I try to go back to menu the display hangs with the last photo and it also overlaps with blank menu screen as in my second problem.
The DVD plays perfectly fine in my Mac and in my Sony VAIO. I have background music for menus and slideshow in my iDVD project. And the video mode is NTSC.
Please help me here..I need to burn these DVDs so that I can carry them to India on this friday.

yes the external dvd player (I call it a set top dvd player). Use your remote control to access the menu / features (you'll have to dig out the instructions maybe and look for different settings like pan and scan vs. letterbox) Set it to letterbox. For example:
The center image is what you need as opposed the one to the bottom right. (Try all available settings to get used to what your options are).
Hope this helps but if not come on back.

  • Fonts are getting clipped when in edit mode. How can this be remedied?

    I'm using InDesign for layout. I Export... the layout as a PDF… when I edit text boxes within Acrobat, characters along the left edge are suddenly clipped.
    The text is fine until I attempt to edit the lines of copy. For instance, the leading edge of a “J” gets trimmed off as soon as the box is selected for editing.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

  • The menu bar area gets screwed up when I try to make changes to it

    So whenever I right click a blank area in the top bar and try to customize it everything goes screwy. It shoves the menu bar in above the tabs bar, displays the google toolbar and when I cancel or save the changes it just sticks glitched with all the menu and google toolbar stuff displayed. Whenever I close down firefox 4 and reopen it when it's like that absolutely everything at the top of the browser is erased (address bar, home, refresh, ect.) and I have to re-add them all. This is excruciatingly annoying to have to completely re-set up layout whenever i want to make a tiny change...

    I tried that and I thought it worked but it just happened again. I also noticed that when everything screws up when I exit the customize window and right click the top bar again the Customize option in the right click menu is greyed out.

  • Display getting clipped when using 26" TV as monitor

    HELP! I recently connected my Sony LCD TV to my single G5 PowerMac as a monitor with a DVI to DVI cable. The resolution is excellent, but the margins of the desktop are getting clipped. So for instance, the menu bar at the top of the screen is NOT visible!! The dock is also partially clipped. The right and left edges are less noticeable. I've tried playing around with the resolution settings and the color sync utility, but nothing is working. Any suggestions?

    I've looked through the TV manual, and there's no mention of turning overscan on/off. I'm also running with the stock NVIDIA 5200 video card, and NVIDIA's TV Tool doesn't seem to work with Macs. Finally, I have the option of turning overscan on/off if I connect my G5 to my TV via s-video, but not with a dvi cable. Does that make any sense??

  • Edges of components clipping off?

    I have a labeled JSlider in a box with several other components. The whole thing is in a JPanel. For some reason, the top of the JSlider and the bottom half of the labels are getting clipped off? Does anyone have any ideas? I'm having trouble reproducing the problem on a smaller scale.

  • Is there a way to get my iDVD Menu to the beginning of my movie on the DVD?

    Is there a way to get my iDVD Menu to the beginning of my movie on the DVD?

    Go into the Map mode and make sure there are no items in the far left hand bin.
    If there is something in that bin drag it out, save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.  To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    Startup disc is Macintosh HD. If your HD is getting near full capacity you'll need to offload some files to an external drive or drives.

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

    Hi...
    Better to post in the iDVD forum here.
    That way you can get feedback from iDVD users. This forum is for troubleshooting Mac App Store issues.

  • Idvd 08 themes are gone, it won't open.  Where to get themes?

    idvd 08 themes are gone, it won't open.  Where to get themes?

    Need more information.  Did you have all the themes previously?  Did you do any updates/upgrades since you last had the themes?  If so what updates/upgrades?
    Look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder to see if there are theme folders in there. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder (if there is one).
    You can reinstall iDVD and themes using the disks that came with your MBP.  It will possibly look like #4 in this screenshot:
    Do a custom install and install the app and any support files, i.e. themes.

    Sorry, but I don't know anything about that app.
    I did go to their Web site and I see they have a support link. Perhaps you can get help there or in their forum.
    If you are OK with a DVD with a basic menu, you could try the Share>DVD option in FCP.
    Good luck.

  • Image size and dpi for iDVD menu custom background?

    I created a custom background for my iDVD menu. When showing
    on my TV, part of the words and image is cut off on each side, even after adjusting my tv picture between wide screen and standard screen.
    What is the correct size and dpi to make a photograph to use as a background
    image in the menus? This may have been answered before, so I apologize for posting the same question, if so.

    iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

    Hi
    Can be a problem that get multiplied and visible when iDVD encode for DVD.
    A. See if problem can be isolated to a single frame in the movie and re-import this clip and see if it's better
    B. When free space on Start-Up hard disk goes low - strange things like this might occure. I never go under 25Gb free space on this Start-Up Mac OS hard disk !
    C. Does this problem arises what ever encoding quality You use ?

  • IDVD menu items greyed out? Help!

    Hello, i recently bought an external DVD drive for my mac mini ( unfort, I bought it used for good price, and didn't realize until later that the mini didn't burn DVDs. Its a combo-drive unit). Anyhow, after installing my external DVD drive, I figured id try out iDVD for the first time. I opened up iDVD '08, and for some reason almost all my menu items are greyed out!
    The items i can access through the menu bar are: New, Open, Quit, and the 4 buttons ( create project, Magic iDVD, etc)
    The items i CANNOT access are pretty much everything else! : About Idvd, Preferences, Check for updates. It seems to me if i cant access "Preferences", something is seriously wrong.
    Any ideas why these items would be greyed out? Maybe some options aren't available until i get rolling, but "About IDVD" and "Preferences" should be available at any point.
    Thanks in advance

    P.S. A little more info: The external DVD drive ( LaCie d2 16X DVD-RW Firewire, Product # 301120R) does apparently work. I was able to burn a simple test disc with a slideshow. So I do know the DVD drive works and can burn discs. Anyhow I'm wondering if IDVD somehow checks the computer drive ,sees its a Combodrive that my mac mini has, and therefore glitches somehow? Only thing I can think of?
    Message was edited by: DauthiSlayer

    Thanks for the tip. Now i realize i have another problem. There is no icon for my external DVD drive, like yours shows in the screenshoot. If i go to SYSTEM PROFILER, and look under Hardware>Firewire, sure enough the LaCie drive appears there. So the Mac is apparently aware of it. But there is no icon on my desktop. I unplugged both the power and Firewire cord and then replugged it in, and still no DVD icon appears on the desktop. My external Harddrive appears on my desktop..i wonder why the external DVD drive would not?

  • How can I get clip art on Pages like MS Word has?

    How can I get clip art on Pages like MS Word has?

    Pages will use any old graphics, of which there are bucket loads on the internet.
    You just drag, paste or import it or bring it in via the Media Browser:
    Menu > View > Show Media Browser
    If you want WordArt then you will need to create that in another program and bring it in.
