HEY.. WHEN I AM IN THE ENCODING PROGRAM MY EPISODES HAVE A 1.1VGA ASPECT RATIO. I CHOOSE 4.3 OR 4.3 WITH 525 LINES.. WHICH ONE SHOULD I CHOOSE MY MAIN PROBLEM WAS THAT ENCODING WNET FINE BUT WHEN I BURNED IT WITH NEO DVD OR SONIC.. IT STRETCHED THE VIDEO TO WHERE SOME WAS OFF THE SCREEN AT THE BOTTEM.. THE SUBTITLES WERE LIKE BELOW THE BOTTEM OF THE TV SCREEN TOO..

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE EM WHERE THE ASPECT RATIO IS GOOD AND MY STUFF DOSN'T GET CUT OFF OR STRETCHED WHEN IT IS BURNED TO DVD.

I'm afraid this might be a problem not due to the encoder, but due to your TV's screen, i.e., the image is OK but the TV 'hides' part of the video.
Sometimes the encoders put themself the source aspect, because it describes how the source is translated into the 720x480/576 screen.
To solve this I'm afraid you have, depending on your encoder, 'reduce' the image, so that the result of the encode is not a 720x480/576 screen but, say, a 648x432/518 screen centered, so that, if looked on the PC, it sppears

. = black border (hidden on your TV, because it is lost)
O = movie's screen

Obviously, in my example I 'resized' (keepng aspect ratio) 90% and, if the problem is due to the TV screen , the exact amout depends only on the TV screen.
You'd make some tests with CD-RWs and VCDs (fast, to make) to determine the good 'resize' needed...
