Since he filmed it in 16x9 he probably transferred it to standalone which did it in 4:3. Ive seen it happen before, so you gotta use IFOedit to fix it, no big deal just a few clicks and its fixed.

This one is indeed THE ONLY SOLUTION, the good thing is that you DON'T TOUCH AT ALL the video, the only thing you do is to FLAG the IFO file with 16:9 setting, that means that when the dvd player read the ifo file, the video is showed on the screen as 16:9

i know this topic was created a long time a go, but in the case that someone have the same problem here is the COMPLETE TUTORIAL on HOW to solve it:

i've done it several times, and it works like a charm

cheers
