Three ways.
1) Encode directly to 4:3. This will make everything stretched taller than it should be.
2) Encode to pan/scan 4:3. This will cut the sides off, but leave it full screen.
3) Encode to letterboxed 4:3. This will put black bars top and bottom, but nothing stretched or squished.

All 3 of these can be accomplished in TMPGEnc, as well as most other standalone encoders.

Which one did YOU want?

i got the program, its converting it to fullscreen. One question, does the movie lose quality if converted to fullscreen or would it stay the same?

Because it needs re-encoding, you will lose some quality.
Did you figure out the settings needed in TMPGEnc?
