Hello. I have the problem described in step 1 of this guide:
Using IfoEdit: Setting the 16:9 Flag
It is a very easy to follow guide and the results look much better.
The trouble is that I have tried viewing the incorrect 4:3 files with VLC media player - both at 16:9 and at 16:10. At 16:9, it still looks a touch wide. At 16:10, it seems fine.
At which stage can I tweak what that guide tells me, to make the ratio 16:10? Otherwise, how else can I easily change to 16:10?
I'd prefer using IfoEdit, or a similar (ideally free) tool, so that I can keep to as few pieces of software - and those which are accessible to others - as possible.
Thanks.

I thought as much.
DVDFlick is something I got out of curiosity, but haven't really used.
Would you be able to describe how to get the effect I am after - to go to 16:10 - or link to a guide that can?
Thanks.

You haven't provided enough info.
Are you actually trying to distort the image (so that a circle looks
like an egg, for example ?), or are you trying to correct
a distorted source so that the DVD looks natural?
A way to proceed would be either to provide some info
on the source (drop it into mediainfo, select view/tree and put the
info in this post)
Or even post a short clip that we can look at.

I'm not sure I can provide too much more, but I'll come at it from another angle:
I have the problem described in step 1 of this guide:
Using IfoEdit: Setting the 16:9 Flag
As you can see, from the examples they use, that's pretty bad distortion. That's what I have, but not quite as bad.
Applying the 16:9 flag, as detailed in that guide, does help. Things look much better. The trouble is that doing so goes a bit too far.
The picture is stretched just a little too wide. It's not a killer, but it's enough that you know something's not right.
How can I take my 4:3 image and turn it into something that's 16:10, as opposed to 16:9?

I took a look at the site you posted . The reason it looks distorted
is because a 16/9 image is squashed into a 4/3 frame.
As I mentioned to you, the way to fix it is in the encoding stage.
I'm unable to tell from your post if you're interested in undertaking
a source re-encode to fix the problem (or even if you have the source),
whether you're trying to fix it on a DVD so you can play it
on a standalone player, or whether you're just trying to make
it look right on the PC monitor for PC playback.

The DVD is mine and the problem is with it.
I could run the files through Rebuilder. It's just that I thought I might be able to do something beforehand.

I've had some weird resolution videos that I used in DVD Flick and didn't look right unless re-encoded to 16:10 or even 1.85:1. The video is re-encoded though.
Piss me off, and I Will ignore You!

Well, that's good. What I am wondering is how to get it to 16:10 - from what it is now.
Thanks.
Thanks.
