Problems Converting XVid to Mpeg2

I've got some videos that I'd like to burn to DVD, but the problem is that they're XVid and in a widescreen format and if I just use an authoring program, like Sonic DVDit!, Roxio DVD Builder, or Ulead DVD Movie Factory, it will squeeze the widescreen into 4:3 format and it will look squeezed on a 4:3 TV and on the computer.

I figured I could just go in and add bars using TMPGEnc and adding borders to the top and bottom, but evey time I encode the video comes out choppy. I've tried encoding to .m2v, mpeg1 and mpeg2, but every one of them come out choppy.

The specs on the first clip I'm trying to convert is as follows:
Duration - 42min 22sec
XVid
Bitrate - 1014 kb/s
fps - 23.976
Resolution - 608x336
Audio - mp3, 130 kb/s, (65/ch, stereo) VBR LAME3.92, 48000 Hz

Any suggestions?

If you want to just burn it to dvd add noting extra take a look at this guide http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm . But if you want to use a video editing program ( to add menus tranitions whatever) try pinnacle because it has an option for 16:9 and 4:3.

Load the AVI with VirtualDub, do Video__Filters____Add --> Null transform and, on the cropping screen, crop the X axis so that X'x Y (X' = X - cropdx - cropsx) is a 4:3 movie (Y must be left untouched).
Then do File___Start Frameserver and frameserve the output's file to the encoder of your choice (double clicking to AuxSetup.exe + on Install Handler must be done, first, to install VirtualDub's frameserving support).
In your case, your movie will have to become 448x336, so the cropping values are easily found (80; let it be cropsx = cropdx = 80).
You'll have to give up to part of the 'side' video.
Otherwise you must add black bars up and down, and that is exactly what your TV does, if you don't crop the movie.
But I don't think this is your problem. Maybe the encoder's settings?
