I'm new to Toast 9 and couldn't find anything on this issue in the search. I burned a Video Disc from a .dv movie from my camcorder that is 720x480 (I believe the aspect ratio is 4:3?). The resulting video playback in a standard DVD player on my 32" television looked gorgeous BUT it clipped off the bottom of the image by roughly 5%, just enough to cut my subtitling in half. Is there something wrong in my settings when burning? When outputting my Video file originally? What's the fix? (hopefully not yet another program!)

Does the full screen image show when played on the Mac (at actual size, not the zoomed full screen size)? If so then the problem is the overscan of your TV is doing this. Overscan is normal and generally not adjustable. (My non-flat-screen Sony Digital 32" XBR TV has excessive overscan in my opinion but it's something I have to live with).

Toast has no settings regarding this, either.

Yup, looks perfectly normal on my flatscreen monitor, non-zoomed, played in Quicktime. So it's just the TV. Rats. Looks like I will have to compensate for it using some other software that will reduce the image size for burns to be viewed on TVs or just avoid running anything vital near the bottom. thanks!
