IFOEdit cannot crop a movie for you. Most DVD's come with both aspect ratios. You should verify that yours does not before doing alot of extra work. You can view the MPEG stream information using IFOEdit. Look for a 4:3 video stream (do not confuse the menu's with the movie,as they are often in 4:3). If your not sure how to do this, refer to an IFOEdit guide ( www.doom9.org has some good ones). If your DVD does not have a 4:3 version, then you will have to manually crop the video to 4:3, chopping off the sides of the movie to make it fit fullscreen.

Use something like DVD2AVI to get an AVI file from your DVD Rip. Use VirtualDub, or AVSynth to crop your movie, and then re-encode, and author back to DVD.
