I am just learning to use the Video Wave editor, and I have been successful at creating a very nice movie from files taken from my Sony HD video camera.
Unfortunately, what appears on the DVD that I create has a major part of the video image trimmed off on all sides. In playing with the program, I discovered that there is a "TV Safe Zone" that shows this trim when you are working on the movie.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this is. If I create a DVD using the software supplied with the camera, all of the image that I see on screen is visible on my TV. Why is Video Wave trimming off such a substantial part of the video image?
Is there any way around this? I have looked at help files, but they are ponderously unhelpful.

Videowave is not trimming any part of the image. If you do not see the whole image on your TV its because of your TV - its showing only about 85% of the image because of what is called overscan. Do a search in these forums and you will find a lot of posts on this "problem". The "TV Save Zone" only indicates the approximate area you will see on your TV. If you play the DVD on your computer you will see the whole image.
If you see the whole image produced by the software (supplied with your camera) it is because that software "squeezes" the image to fit inside the "TV Safe Zone"

Add the video as an overlay to a color panel in VideoWave. Adjust to fit your TV (grab and drag in corners). You can start with the size of the TV safe zone, burn to a DVD RW and then adjust as needed until you get the right size. Try to remember the appoximate size for the future productions.
Once you have the right size, then go ahead and burn to a DVD +or- R (not RW)

Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.
