My DVD printing experiences:

led me to the ImageableArea parameter in the .ppd file,
and while I was able to eventually get a DVD to print with no
clipping, I also found that whatever I did was a complete
accident, because the definition of what that parameter
is supposed to mean clearly has no relation to what it
actually means :-).

You could also take a look at this:

but I don't know if the scripts referenced there will
still work these days or not.
