i have a wide screen movie and every time i burn it to vcd it makes it full screen can anyone tell me how to make it record to full screen

First of all tell me how you encode the movie ( progs, settings etc. ).

But you can try to switch your TV to 16/9 output or your DVD-Player

The problem is with your conversion, you are not maintaining the aspect ratio. If you are using a VCD authoring program to do the conversion... then don't ! Use TMPGEnc, but make sure that you have full screen > keep aspect ratio.

The conversion will have black borders at the top and bottom, but when played on a widescreen TV, you can zoom them out

OK, load the movie into TMPGEnc, Load a PAL/NTSC VCD template and select File > Preview

If its wrong, then you have changed the settings somewhere, as the default settings should already be OK

Now go to Setting > Advanced
You can see the source aspect ratio there. (1:1VGA) ?
And the "video arrange method (Full screen (Keep aspect ration)" ?

You can also experiment
Setting > Advanced > Double click (Clip Frame)

You can now see the move and change the settings (Arrange setting)
The default is full screen > keep aspect ratio

On a widsceen tv it would be full screen , you zoom in to get rid of the black boarders, this is a VCD not a DVD

PAL VCD 352x288 (With black borders at top and bottom)
NTSC VCD 352x240 (With black borders at top and bottom)

I've recorded a lot of old and new videos from vcr and dv camera as mpeg2 720x480 and 352x 240 with tmpeg plus,and burned them as a non standard in nero and they look great on my 16x9.The only problem is the file size is not accurate.I tried a 45 minute movie and it would not play,but one i made that was 38 min. plays ok.
The 45 minute movie i reencoded as an mpeg1 and it was fine.
