Hello,

I have been scratching my head over this one for a while, creating a bunch of DVD coasters in the process ! I hope someone here has some advice.

I have an AVI file which is a 608x320 DivX5.11, 25fps

I have converted it using Ulead MovieFactory to PAL 720x576, 16:9, as i would like to see the entire movie on not the 4:3 stretched and cut version. The file was too big so i used either DVD Shrink or Nero Recode 2 to fit it on a dvd followed by a burn. When i play the file on the PC, it is a 16:9 and it plays properly in a software dvd player but on my TV (32inch Sony Trinitron with Electrohome DVD Player) it fills the whole screen and is not letterboxed as i expected, so it looks just like a 4:3. What am i doing wrong ? Should i be converting the avi to 480x576 or 352x576 instead ?
