I have a bunch of film all exported from Final Cut via Compressor. All of my film is 720x405 (16:9) square pixels. When I bring it into DVD Studio Pro and burn it or preview it it is much larger then 720x405 (probably 850x480) and the quality is degraded. Is there any way to tell DVD Studio Pro to burn at 720x405? Thank You

Below you'll see the support frame sizes for DVD. DVD is almost always 720x480. You'll need to center your comp to fit 720x480 then encode.
NTSC
Up to 9.8 Mbps* (9800 kbps*) MPEG2 video
Up to 1.856 Mbps (1856 kbps) MPEG1 video
720 x 480 pixels MPEG2 (Called Full-D1)
704 x 480 pixels MPEG2
352 x 480 pixels MPEG2 (Called Half-D1, same as the CVD Standard)
352 x 240 pixels MPEG2
352 x 240 pixels MPEG1 (Same as the VCD Standard)
29,97 fps*
23,976 fps with 3:2 pulldown = 29,97 playback fps (NTSC Film, this is only supported by MPEG2 video)
16:9 Anamorphic (only supported by 720x480)

Here is a snapshot from the dvd http://jkunz07.googlepages.com/vlcsnap-200556.jpg it's 853x480 which doesn't make sense to me because I thought dvds were limited at a width of 720. The dvd I burned doesn't play properly on tvs right now. Does anyone have any ideas why DSP would be using such big resolution? (the 853x480 size show in the previewer in DSP and the viewer as well as the final burned disc)
