Hi, I have a DVD that looks like it should be 16:9, but it is set to 4:3. The video is stretched vertically. Is there any way I can rip it to my computer and fix it so it will play at 16:9 on my DVD player? Please help, thanks!

Ok so I figured out how to switch it to 16:9 by clicking on Program Chains and then the Video panel. But then part of the menu is also in widescreen. Is it possible to make only the movie 16:9, but keep the DVD Menu and the little video leading into the menu at 4:3? Thanks again!

After I use IfoAR2WS, the video is 16:9 on my computer, but when I burn it and put it in my DVD player, it's still 4:3.
If yours is really getting the DAR from the video itself, then ReStream can fix it. But it's hard and time consuming as you'll have to dismantle the DVD and run the M2V through ReStream to set it for 16:9, before then reassembling the DVD. Not really worth it. Easier maybe would be to buy a decent player. Assuming your DVD player is properly set up in the first place. -
Check what manono say about your DVD setup first.
In Remake click on Menu where your PGC containing a picture is, than open Video tab and see what it say about aspect ratio.
To change it, double click on text there and once dialogue box open, do your changes. -
My TV set it 4:3. I don't know if I'm using the correct terminology, but what's happeing is that the original DVD is in fullscreen, but it looks like it should be in widescreen. It is a horribly-made mixed martial arts DVD so it's not surprising they messed it up. When I watch it on my computer and on my DVD player it looks like it is stretched vertically; everybody looks taller then they should be. When I use VLC media player on my computer to watch it, I can just switch the A/R to 16:9 and it looks perfect. But what I want to do is watch it the way it should look (widescreen) on my DVD player.

So it looks like the DVD is OK. It is 16:9 material, but your DVD player setting is wrong. Your DVD player should be set to 4:3 TV, if that what your TV is? Than DVD is encoded to play 16:9 on wide screen and either Letterbox or Pan and Scan on 4:3 TV.
It should work. -
No, I think the DVD is the problem. It plays 4:3 on my computer also, when it should be 16:9. I have never had any problems with my DVD player before, so I'm sure it's just a poorly-made DVD. Should I go into DVDRemake and leave it on 4:3, but then select Letterbox?

But all Menus(Language Units) and all Programs (Titles) have to have same A/R in the same VTS.
That is why you can click on video tab under Menu or Program only.
What I mean. Allmenus can have one A/R and all Programs other A/R in one VTS.
Hope it is clear. -
