Is it possible to set the aspect ratio of an mpeg1 VCD compliant file to 16:9 so my DVD player will automatically add borders?

what is the aspect ratio of the original file?
also why are you putting an mpg1(vcd) on a dvd?
Why not mpg 2?

For the above, I am assuming you have a VCD file that has been "hard" letterboxed. You will need to remove the blackbars (can do that with Tmpgenc).The more I learn, the more I come to realize how little it is I know. -
unfortunately, my DVD player doesn't play RW DVDs
i'm not going to reencode it, but i think it will display correctly on a DVD. i'll try it this weekend and let everyone know how it works out.
it's the opposite situation here, no black bars were encoded so the 16:9 image gets stretched to fit on the 4:3 screen. you're commercial DVDs don't encode black bars at the top and bottom, they simply set the file's aspect ratio to 16:9 and your player adds the black bars for you. however, they are usually encoded at full DVD resolution in mpeg 2, not at 352x240 in mpeg 1.
