    the aspect ratio you see when you watch the DVD on the TV is
    made up from different things. If you encoded an avi, for example,
    was the a/r of the avi correct to begin with?
    Did the mpeg encoder interpret the source file properly?
    Does the dvd player have the 4:3/16:9 TV setting correct?
    Is the TV doing anything to change it?

    You've got to work back and check each step.

    When you play this dvd on the computer how does it look?
    Can you provide a screen shot showing the problem?
