white lines across bottom ofstill pictures in adobe premiere

[morr1s]

I am putting still pictures to music and sometimes I combined two pictures on the same slide in adobe photoshop 7. Premiere is set to 720 by 480 and when I checked 4/3 it changed it to 710 by 480. In Photoshop I made a new picture at 710 by 480 and then arranged my pictures and saved them as a jpeg. After burning my DVD every picture I made in Photoshop has a white stripe across the bottom. I don't see it on my computer when I preview the video. Is my aspect ratio wrong in photoshop? Should I make the pictures a little bigger? Premiere is set to maintain aspect ratio.

Yes your aspect ratio is wrong. With DVD the aspect ratio is set in a flag in the stream. The video itself does not actually have a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, but the flag tells the DVD decoder to stretch it to the correct aspect ratio during playback. So just redo these at 720x480 in both photoshop and in premiere and it should be fine.

I'm guessing that the white line is just what your dvd player does when it encounters that non-compliant resolution.

thank you. I will try that.
