DVD plays with green border

I am new to DVD studio pro. I'm trying to burn my first DVD. Whenever I burn a disc and play it on my computer there is a thin green border around the edge. I exported it from Final Cut Pro and converted it with compressor to be in the right format for DVD studio. Can anyone tell me why this happens and what I can do to get rid of it?
Thanks!

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4), Final Cut Studio

I have found out that it will play fine on my blu-ray player but will not play on any computer without the small green border.

How does the source file play in QT before you compressed it?
Did you use the SD settings in Compressor?
How does the Video_TS folder play in the DVD player application?

it plays fine in QT. I exported it in HDV format then used compressor to convert it to DVD best quality 90 minutes

I ran into this issue as well. I found another post with some ideas. I haven't tried them, yet.

As a follow up, I tried putting both Anti-Alias and Detail Level to 1, which reduced the border (halo) to almost acceptable levels (a bit on the left, almost unnoticeable on the bottom), but the image quality was reduced noticeably in side-by-side comparisons between it and the default settings.

I also tried turning Frame Control off which made the green go away completely and improved the image quality compared to the DVD from the default settings.
