I save material recorded off air to DVD for subsequently culling still
images. The input is from a Strong settop box feeding into and LG
hard disk recorder and thence to the TV. Clips saved in recorder are
subsequently copied off to DVD and edited in a G5 running 10.5.8.
Because of the TV, the settop box outputs in 576i format with the TV
set to 16:9. When the DVD is opened by DVD Player it is always in
4:3 format, not 16:9. I can get to 16:9 digital video with
MPegStreamclip or other paths all requiring a time hungry explicit
conversion. I can find no way to make the settop box/recorder
combination output a DVD in 16:9/ I realise that the 576i format
encompasses both aspect ratios with different pixel shapes but the DVD
is not tagged with that information it seems.
Has anyone any opinion to offer.

Happy Boxing Day to all who survived Christmas
