avi to DVD problem

[TROYMAC]

Hello all,
I tried to locate the answer to my question, but could not seem to. Any advance the resident experts can be will be greatly appreciated.

My 10 year old daughter loves a particular anime. I thought for her birthday, I'd make her a season set. We have purchased 2 diffent "Official" releases and the subtitles were impossible to understand. Sorry for the lead-in.

I downloaded the avi files directly (not bit-torrent). The files play fine through Windows Media Player.
I used Sonic and a trial version of Nero to burn to DVD-R. During the preview section of both softwares, the files play & sound fine.

However, after burning to DVD and playing on my stand alone DVD player, the following occured:

Sonic - the video has been trimmed at botht he top and bottom of the screen. Especially problematic as it cuts approximately half of the subtitle off.

Nero - same "trimming" as Sonic, however, now the audio and video are off synch by about 10 seconds.

Lastly, I beleive the files are Divx as the logo appears in the lower left corner of some of the files.

I'd like to compelte this before my daughter's birthday, but I'm at a loss on where to start.

Thank you in advance for your help.

It has nothing to do with the converter, the tv cuts the image so called overscan, so search for overscan for tips, https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=291705&highlight=

and I haven't seen any simple solution to this...no all-in-one tool supports it yet...
