Hey,
I am new to roxio 9 but so far I am impressed with what I can do with it. Recently I made a huge power point and wanted to move it to dvd. I converted the powerpoint files to jpg and imported into Videowave. I was able to do a lot with the program (transistions, music, naration etc). The problem I am having, however, is that when viewed on a dvd / tv the image edges are missing. How can I size down the powerpoint file to make the converted jpg fit on the DVD?
Thanks!!!!

What you are are experiencing is called TV Overscan. This has been aroudn since the TV was invented. Technically, there is about 10-15% that scans beyond the edges of what you see. When creating slideshows , you need to keep this in mind whe creating a project.
To see an entire JPG, you need to add a color panel and then add the JPG to the overlay track. Then reduce the overlay to 80-85%. If you have a lot of images, this isn't practical. You can use any image editor to add your own 'border' around each JPG, but I always recommend Image Cropper. It was origianaly developed to crop 4:3 digital camera images to 4x6, but now does more. Even supports 16:9 cropping. It has a batch mode so adding a border is fairly quick and it doesn't change the original image.
Get Image Cropper and learn more here. It's donateware. If you like it and use it, please support it. I did.

Thanks very much. Adding the color slide and then putting the jpg over the top worked great. I can get all my text on using this technique.
Thanks again!

It's also a DVD burner that is very convenient for me.
