I have a mini DV video camera that I've been mainly using to film folkie type things (in a 16:9 ratio) and with my PC (running Vista) used the movie and DVD maker bundled with the software to make DVDs. When I play them back on the PC they are fine. However, when I play them back on the TV with my DVD player either the TV or (I suspect) the DVD player trims about 5% of the picture off sides and possibly from top and bottom too.

The wide screen TV has various options on picture format (14:9, Wide, 4:3 etc) and the edges are missing on all options. The DVDs are produced in 16:9 and, as I've said above, the picture is complete on the PC.

Any ideas on how to correct the problem, or even where the problem is?

Thanks
