I have a 1080x1920 AVCHD video that contains 4:3 footage stretched to 16:9. What I want to do is to find a way of squeezing the video back to 4:3 with minimal loss of quality. Would it be possible to pillarbox it?

Remux it with a 4:3 DAR flag at the container level. Most players will respect that and there will be no loss of quality.

I managed to change the aspect ratio using Yamb. Media players such as VLC and WMP now play the file as 4:3. However when I play the file using the USB slot in my TV it still plays as 16:9. Also when I load the new file into AVIdemux for editing it is still 16:9.
What I really want to do is to ensure the file will play back as 4:3 wherever I use it. -
Then change the frame size to 4:3 and reencode. But even that may not work universally, some players/device stretch everything to full screen.

I think I'll just recapture the satellite feed at 576i rather than upscaled 1080i. At least 576i can be switched between 16:9 and 4:3 easily. The only reason I was using 1080 was because the satellite receiver does a good job of upscaling SD 576i to 1080i. Unfortunately the receiver won't pillarbox a horizontally stretched feed to 4:3.
