DVD version of movie cuts off edges

I am using Movie Edit Pro 17

 

I recently created my first production (so I'm a newbie). When I would render as an .avi or other format and play on my pc, the movie looked fine. When I rendered it to a DVD and played it on 2 different widescreen HDTV's, the edges were cut off...so much so that the end credits were unreadable. All video appeared to be zoomed in. I guessed at different formats, aspect ratios and encoding methods, but it all turned out this way.

 

How do I fix this?

DVD maybe Standard Definition, which is a 4:3 ratio, if the video you created was a 16:9 ratio, perhpas this may have cause this to happen.

 

or

 

HD televisions are 16:9 ratio and it may have forced the video to playback in that setting, but the content on the DVD was 4:3...

 

Is the video you created a widescreen in the Movie Edit Pro?
