I have been working with Panasonic plug-in and Premier 5.1 for some time. I have been encoding different resolutions at a video bit rate of about 1900. Everytime I try anything different from 352x240 or 704x480 the image shifts dramatically either to the left or right. It can also shift up and down. I am using the Pioneer 525. Can some one tell me why does my DVD player shifts the image that way. I am trying to use something above 352x240 but below 704x480. Any help is appreciated.

Not all resolution are supported on DVD Players. It's not a problem with Panasonic and Premiere, simply your DVD player will not play at strange resolution. Your 525 is very forgiving, I have a 717 and it won't play everything out of specs. Someone has published a table of the resolution that are allowed by the most popular DVD players. I do not have it at hand, but if you search the latest version of "VCD bitrate calculator" i think you'll find it.
