I borrowed a neighbor's tape-to-DVD converter (I think it was a Sony). As I watched on the TV each tape being recorded, the aspect ratio was the correct 4:3. When I played-back the DVDs, they were stretched on my TV into widescreen. I wanted to create a DVD with menus, but all my PC software displays the movies in widescreen. (The mediainfo and gspot utilities report the files are 4:3.) Is there any way to correct this for full-screen?
The IfoEdit results for my files are:
1. In the lines for vts_1 and vts_01 mine reads (4:3) (not specified perm.display);
2. In the files' video attributes, the "4:3" radio button is already checked.
3. In both files, none of the three Static boxes are checked.
Any suggestions?

Just what is on the DVD?
Is there a VIDEO_TS folder with VOB, IFO, etc files; i.e., a complete standard DVD fileset?
In any case, you might try to reauthor it, use a DVD backup to extract elementary streams: M2V video and AC3 (or MP2) audio, and reauthor.
When you import the video into the authoring app you should see what ratio it is. If it's wrong, use ReStream to change it -- only takes a minute. -
it wants the elementary video stream (i.e. the video , without the audio)
you can use dgindex to demultiplex it , then feed the .m2v file into restream
if you want to multiplex it back with the audio, you could use imagompegmuxer, or muxman , or just reauthor using dvd authoring software -
You can use DVD Patcher to change the Aspect Ratio on mpg and VOB files

Great, guns1inger. Now, DVDPatcher says the VOBs are 720x480, 16:9. I can check 4:3 but what do I enter for Horizontal Size, and do I patch only the first header?

Open the video IFO in IfoEdit, choose the video stream in the list, double click on it, and select "4:3 Pan and Scan" (Static box) and save the IFO.SONY 75" Full array 200Hz LED TV, Yamaha A1070 amp, Zidoo UHD3000, BeyonWiz PVR V2 (Enigma2 clone), Chromecast, Windows 11 Professional, QNAP NAS TS851 -
It told you exactly what it wants.
And I told you how to do it in my previous post.
Instead of trying to do surgery on the obviously screwed up files you have, demultiplex the video and reauthor using any of a dozen tools and you will have a correct working DVD file set in 5 minutes.
