Maintaining Aspect Ratio

[Grenge]

I am using Ulead DVD Workshop 2 and I wanted to add some movie files to a disc. The only problem is that some of the files are 16:9 and have had the "black bars" trimmed off, and when I put them into the project they end up being stretched to 4:3. Is there a setting in DVD Workshop which will allow me to keep the aspect ratio intact or will I have to re encode the file and add the "black bars" to keep the ratio when displayed on 4:3?

The black bars weren't trimmed, If your video was correctly flagged as 16:9 when you encoded it, it would play correctly.

Genrally when you have 16:9 video you set the capture at 16:9 then encode at 16:9 and drop it on the timeline in Workshop and that's it. Workshop will see the 16:9 flag in the video header and correctly apply it when you author, you can even have 4:3 and 16:9 on the same disc.

Not sure how to apply the attribute in Workshop or change the header.... You could "burn" to file instead of disc, edit the ifo file with ifoedit, then burn it to disc... There's probably an easier way though.
