I want to produce dvd with 16:9 and even some 4:3 clips simultaneously.
Do you have any idea how?
What i obtained with dvdstyler and 720x576 (PAL) anamorphous mpeg2 was
a video on TV with correct aspect but pan-scanned.
Hi Marcin - the following is not definitive information but it works for me.
Your mpegs are authored okay but your vobs need some work. I don't use
dvdstyler but ManDVD. ManDVD generates an xml file which dvdauthor then
interprets. I assume dvdstyler works with dvdauthor also... ManDVD
doesn't support a nopanscan option but I add my own line by hacking the
dvdauthor xml file. Have a look a the <video format... line just
beneath <titles>:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-15'?><dvdauthor
dest="/home/gray/video/productions/wf//DVD">
<vmgm>

The <video format... line makes all tv/dvd combos show all the frame
(except for overscan of course) by forcing letter boxing.
For using different aspects within the same dvd I'm not so sure. You
could try adding a <video format... line for each time the <video format
properties change or you could try restricting your <video format flag
to just widescreen="nopanscan" then see if the dvd player can work out
the rest. I think the aspect information would be encoded within the
mpg files anyway.
I'll be interested in hearing your definitive solution when you have it
solved.
Best of luck
Graham
