I'm selecting "view: 16:9 letterboxed" in DVD studio pro when i encode...
it plays 16:9 on my computer just fine, but on a 4:3 TV it's still scrunched.
any suggestions?
thanks, guys--

I'm not familiar with that authoring program, but I don't think you want to select "leterboxed". For true anamorphic 16:9 material, I always authored as just ordinary 16:9 and they played correctly on both widescreen and 4:3 TV sets.
I think what you have done is manually add physical letterboxing bars, which is causing the problem. -

thanks guys--
i'm using an old DVD player-- it doesn't seem to have these setup capabilities. it's probably 10 years old at least.
we are cutting edge here at work, i tell ya.
could that be the problem? -
No, I don't think that would be the problem. If it really doesn't have a choice in the setup or menu screen between 4:3 and 16:9, or regular and widescreen, or somesuch, then it would be for a 4:3 TV set only (which is what you have). I find it hard to believe, though, that it doesn't have such a choice.
How does it play on someone else's player and TV set? -
Even my first DVD player (A Pioneer 414 from around 10 years ago) had this function. It will be in the menu, usually under the video setting. I have set up a lot of DVD players for friends and family over the years (literally hundreds - different brands and models), and I have never seen a player that did not have this function
