I have AVI files with subtitles. They appear fine when I play the Project in the Preview. However, when I play the burned DVD, all the subtitles are cut off. Can anyone suggest options? Do I need to resize the AVI files? If so, what size? They are currently 640x480.
Thanks

You are experiencing TV overscan. All TVs have this issue. HDTV less so than most other types and as you know, computer monitors almost not at all.
In VideoWave, open a new project and add a color panel the same length as the AVI file. Add the avi file as an overlay. Click on the TV safe zone (looks like a rectangle with cross hairs). Adjust the size of the overlay to show the subtitles in the TV safe area. I usually use around a 15% reduction.

Many thanks! Actually, what I ended up doing (before I read your post) was creating a 16:9 project in VideoWave and then adding the AVIs. The DVDs turned out better than 4:3 and I had no problems with the subtitles. Of course, there's a black frame, but I don't mind since it was fast and the AVIs were just anime for personal viewing.
