Hi,
I've been happily taping 4:3 TV format onto DVD recorder - but now I have a widescreen TV as well. As I sometimes tape from both TV's (4:3 and 16:9) I find that even though I set the DVD to record at 16:3 the picture when played back in 4:3 screen still looks distorted. What I basically want to do is know how to create a DVD from a 16:9 TV output which will play on a 4:3 format without attenuation of the figures. They are stretched at the moment when I play back on 4:3 format TV or my desktop PC (not a widescreen monitor)
I read the IfoEdit might work without having to rencode - but the process was not explained. I assume you select Video under description and change the video atrributes from 4:3 to 16:9? Do I have to change the resolution as well? (at the moment a file is showing 352x576 is selected for PAL Mpeg2). I have IfoEdit and PgcEdit and DVDShrink. Any advice or pointing me to the right thread would be great.
