I have created a 852x480 avi of an animation i have created. I burnt the DVD successfully using Sonic my DVD on PC. When i play it back it appears in the 4:3 ratio and everything of course appears squishy. Is there an option in Sonic, or another DVD authoring tool which will allow the outputted DVD to play in letterbox format. The end product is for a plasma widescreen tv. Or will it automatically stretch out when i play it on a plasma widescreen.
Also, this is my first foray into DVD Authoring. is 852x480 to high a resolution? what would you suggest?
Thanx

I don't know Sonic My DVD but there should be an option to specify 16:9 ratio.
Anyway, you can change aspect ratio without re-authoring / re-encoding:
With IfoEdit, open .ifo files you've just created (VTS_*) and change 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9
852x480 is the right resolution for 16:9 aspect ratio on computer screen, which show square pixels.
But when you author your DVD, Sonic My DVD resize it to 720x480 (NTSC) before encoding to mpeg2.
You would save some time (but not much) if you could render your avi directly to 720x480 WITH 16:9 aspect ratio (check if your cgi app support non square pixel aspect ratio)
