stretched image w/ svcd on pioneer dv343. plz help!

[warbird]

i have been trying to get the right svcd mpg2 encode but seem to come up short everytime. i have a pioneer dv-343 and i am kinda new to svcds but ive about mastered std mpg1 vcds though. with svcds my encodes seem to be short about 50 or 60 lines on each side horiz (left+right) on the tv.. the screen is full, no black bars or anything, just the image stretches off the screen on both left and right sides. the image doesnt look squashed nor stretched either.. on the comp they look perfectly fine though, all of the image is there. ive played with input aspect ratios, video arrange methods, resize methods in vdub before frameserving, left the resize filter off in vdub only to come up with the same thing. ive been burning 30sec samples to cdrw for hours and its not doing any good. here are my cap / encode settings:
vdub:
720x480x29.9706 (ntsc)
huffy compression
-after cap is complete:
temporal cleaner filter
resize filter at 480x480 precise bicubic 0.75 (tryed them all though), interlaced box checked
huffy compression again
-then i start up frameserv
tmpgenc 2.0:
Super Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-2 480x480 29.97fps CBR 2150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)
-video tab: encode mode interlaced, highest quality, aspect ratio is greyed out and says 4:3 display
-advanced: video source type interlaced, field order A, source aspect 4:3 display (ive tryed 1:1 also), video arrange method full screen keep aspect (ive played with this one too).

im running out of ideas!!! if anybody knows how to fix this plz help me! thx

Need more information. What are you capturing to 720x480 and why? While DVD's are stored at 720x480, they're meant to be played at 850-something by 480. SVCD's are stored at 480x480, play back at 640x480.

Also, "full screen preserve aspect ratio" will screw you up. TMPG is general purpose, not just for SVCD's. It will preserve it inside of the 480x480, not 640x480! So if you have a 480x240 video, it will put it in at 480x240, and your dvd player will expand it to 640x240...

thx for the reply. i have a ati allinwonder radeon 32mb ddr agp, in a homebuilt 1400mhz athlon, 512mb crucial cas2 sdr (no fancy ddr), abit kt7a-raid w 1 20gig ata100 hd and 2 maxtor 30gigs ata100 hds at raid level 0, running win2000pro. analog cable source, cap through tv tuner function in vdub. seems to have the best results from what ive seen. i cap at 720x480 and resize to 352x240 during frameserv with all my mpg1 vcds and havent had this problem. i have very little experience at mpg2 svcds so would it be better to just cap at 480x480 or even 352x480?
