Ok, I'm new here, but have pretty much figured out what I needed to do.
I have an xvid avi that I need to convert to DVD format. I do this with
WINAVI Video Converter. It only has two size ratios, and that is 4:3 and 16:9.
The video in which I am converting has a size of 640x288 (2.22:1) [=20:9].

Whenever I convert it to 4:3 or 16:9, the size now becomes 720x480 (1.50:1) [=3:2]

When I put the dvd on the analog tv, the image becomes very distorted and squished in.

When I put the dvd in a widescreen tv, the image is perfect
because the tv spreads out the image

The movie on the analog tv looks like this:





I want it to look like this:


Could this just be because of the dvd player settings and/or tv settings?

Thanks in advanced

Don't use WinAvi.
You could resize in VirtualDub first...
A good encoder will give the correct aspect, no matter what TV it's played on.
