Thanks for your reply, but I still have a problem:


Here is the command that I used:
mencoder movieIn.mpg \
          -nocache -quiet \
          -oac copy -ovc copy \
          -of mpeg -ofps 25 -mpegopts vaspect=16/9 \
          -o movieOut.mpg


Here is what I get:

When opening the original file movieIn.mpg:
- dvbcut displays the picture correctly in 16:9 format but reports 4:3
- kaffeine distorts the picture into a 4:3 format
- mplayer distorts the picture into a 4:3 format
- vlc displays the picture correctly in 16:9 format

When opening the file movieOut.mpg produced by mencoder:
- dvbcut reports 16:9 format but the picture is stretched in its width 
as if the anamorphic change was applied two times on the picture
- kaffeine and mplayer display the picture in the correct 16:9 format
- vlc displays the picture stretched in the width as dvbcut


Does anybody know what is going on and what to do, in order to be sure 
that it will be displayed correctly in a stand alone dvd player.


Thanks in advance,

Francesco
