I just published a men in architect and both the menu and video edges top bottom and side are cut off I have the properties set to ntsc 720X480 what the heck am I doing wrong!?
You need to use title safe lines (check Help for how to display). What you see in your preview window is more than what you'll see on your TV, because TVs (ALL TVs) overscan the picture and the edges are cut off.
Chances are, before you rendered the DVD, you got a warning that you had objects outside your title safe areas. If you activate the lines, you'll see where that area is while you're working on the menue.
