I have been struggling with this problem for the longest time and have decided to post it in forum for some insight. Whenever I try to burn a video file onto dvd using roxio dvd creator or powerproducer, the video always gets cut off at all 4 sides when I try to watch it on a dvd player (I have tried 5 players and 5 tv's). When I view the dvd on the computer it comes out fine.
As a temporary fix for this problem, I have been re-encoding all the video files prior to burning with a black border using VirtualDub. This solution does not work to well as sometimes the black border flexes and so does the video along with it. I have tried all kinds of solutions and none of them have helped.
I am willing to get any software and do any proccess no matter how tedious it is to fix this problem.
Please Help.

I think you are seeing normal TV set overscan. TV producers always use action safe and title safe guides in order to produce for that target TV display.
Broadcast monitors have underscan modes so that you can examine the edges. Figure a broadcast monitor will cost you 2-4x a TV. Best to use good camera and editing practice.
Inner rectangle is title safe, outer rectangle is action safe.

This isn't video that I have recorded myself, This is mostly anime and anime music videos. they all come in standard 640x480 and when I burn them onto dvd and watch them on my televison the sides are always cut off. the only way I can watch it properly is if I zoom out, but if I do that then some of the subtitles are hard to read.

Quite frankly, your temporary fix by adding black borders is the only way to fix this. ALL TVs have overscan, period. If you don't like it, watch it on your PC.
I add borders using an AVISynth script, such that the vision itself remains at 640x480, but there's a black border of 40 pixels left and right, and 48 pixels top and bottom, so that the full 720 x 576 is used (I'm in PAL land). This tends to escape all overscan issues.If in doubt, Google it. -
Another option is to use a LCD display. Some allow viewing to the edge. Others crop the 4 sides so people don't complain when the edge trash comes into view.
