I recently recorded a widescreen television program from my HDTV tuner
to my dvd recorder. The resulting disk works great playing it on that
machine and displayed on my widescreen TV. I wanted to play it later
on my regular bedroom TV on a different DVD player. I get a squished
anamorphic display that cannot be corrected by changing display
settings for the dvd player. It also plays squished when played on my
computer.

I am assuming there is nothing that can be done with this disk to make
it work on those things, but is there a way I convert it in DVD Studio
Pro, so that it will automatically spread like the commercial ones
do?

I have been able to rip the M2V's and AC3's from the disk, but don't
know what setting to use to get the result I want. The choices in DVD
Studio Pro, are 4:3, 16:9 pan-scan, 16:9 letterbox, and 16:9 pan-scan
& letterbox.
