So I converted an AVI source file on my computer to MPEG2 using SUPER (by eRightSoft). I created an ISO image and burned it to a DVD using Nero. I played it on my PS3, ran like butter. I then played it on my Phillips DVP3980, and to my dissatisfaction, found the aspect ratio to be off and the video distorted to fit my TV screen. So I go into the setup menu, change the TV Display option to 4:3 Letterbox, then to 16:9, only to discover no changes whatsoever. Finally, I tried using a different conversion program (TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress), but still the same problem.
Help?

I would ditch SUPER, which is fine for quick and dirty conversion of troublesome formats, but far from the best for DVD conversions.
Try AVStoDVD, DVD Flick or FAVC for AVI to DVD conversion, as the results will be far better than anything SUPER can produce.
That said, a couple of things to think about.
1. What was the source ? Not all 720 x 480/576 material is correctly flagged, and because both 4:3 and 16:9 can share the same resolution, converters can get confused. Make sure you understand your source, and over-ride automatically selected settings if necessary.
2. If you still have the Video_TS folder (ISOs are really not necessary any more), then you may be able to IFOAR2WS to fix the flags in the IFO files to tell the player to play it back correctly. Also, check the flags in the VOB files with MediaInfo or G-Spot. DVD Patcher can be used to update flags in VOB and MPG files.Read my blog here.

Thanks for the reply.
When I import the MPG file into DVD Patcher, it shows that its aspect ratio is already at 16:9. -

I don't see any other choices there. So ... author to DVD.
