I've got some DVDs of off-air recordings that I recorded and burned on my set-top DVD recorder (Pioneer). The programmes are anamorphic (they contain the full 16:9 picture information), but the Pioneer "squeezes" them to 4:3.
Is there a cheap/easy solution for me to take the discs I burnt on the Pioneer and simply change the flag from fullscreen to anamorphic with my Macintosh, then re-burn? The simplest solution (just changing the flag and burning) is preferable to having to convert to MPEG, re-encode, etc.
I know I can use my HDTV's "side stretch" viewing mode to fix the problem for my own viewing, but I'd like to be able to fix it "on-disc". I'm hoping changing the flag would automatically un-squeeze the image.
Any help appreciated!
