Border on top/bottom of screen during transitions

I am using S4k. When I burn DVDs (normal or blu-Ray) I have annoying thin lines that appear on top and bottom of the picture as a transition is occuring. There has to be a simple correction or mask for this. I thought it may be the border selection option on the presentation options but that didn't work. Anybody have any idea what I'm talking about or any way to fix this? Thanks!

Try using "FULL" in the project setting prior to import.

Yes, there are a number of colleagues who have wrestled with this issue - it popped up in the latter versions of the OS, both in Smart Edit and in Bogart.

Apart from what Lou has suggested, you can also apply 'Black Border' to your finished scene prior to DVD authoring (or exporting to internet). This is found under the Special menu and is part of Effects Pack 8. I do this with pretty much all my projects.

Thanks for the reply, guys.

In poking around options in the menus in the past, I did discover the suggestion you made Chet and have tried that. However, it did not seem to work for me. I am not sure I have implemented Lou's suggesstion or not, but I certainly will try that in the future. Frustrating problem.
