Problem w/ Garbage Mattes on DVD

Hey guys, I made a movie that has different things frozen in mid-air, and many times I used garbage mattes to do this.

Well, I just burned the DVD using 'Export to DVD' in Premiere Pro (Version 7, the one right after Premiere 6.5....), and I was watching it on my TV.... the edges of the garbage mattes are visible! It's a solid black line around the edges of the matte... Grrrrr....

Is there anyway to remove those black edges on garbage mattes when exporting to a DVD in Premiere?

Oh, and Is there a way to make 4:3 looks 16:9 without it stretching? (So instead of it stretching, I want the black bars on top and bottom)...

Also, what are the best settings when exporting a DVD?

Thanks,

Colin
 
perhaps this is an issue with the older versions of premier, but i have been using premier pro 1.5 and 2 for ages now and never had this issue with the mattes. Perhaps it is time for an upgrade?


as for creating the "black bars look" its actually called letterbox. This term applies to any 16x9 image that has been scaled to fit into a 4x3 frame, thereby shrinking the actual footage. Some people actually shoot in this letterboxed mode, which is a 4x3 image with a matte applied directly ontop of the video to create that 16x9 look.
 
this tends to happen sometimes. the best thing to do save the footage as a quicktime or wm and place it back into your project in your time line.
