Setup 4:3 screen size (instead of 720 x 480)?

Question

Setup 4:3 screen size (instead of 720 x 480)?

Photos-only project that will output on DVD to be played on 4:3 TV screens. But I can't find a "setup" that provides anything other than 720 X 480 screens...no 640 X 480. What am I missing?

Thanks for any help,

Hi

And 720 x 480 resp. 640 x 480 - is the standard for DVDs. Whatever program used.

PAL resp NTSC differes in size and frame rates.

And DVDs to be played on Standard DVD-players has to be made within this standard.

DVD = interlaced SD-Video PAL or NTSC

If it is so that You can not see the full picture - That's the way old times TVs (CRT) are made and are called OverScan and to correct this a bit I use WireFrame and here reduce the size of the picture (in TimeLine) to all material by approx 10%.
