It IS in widescreen. It plays so as a DVD on my Mac, and with the
extracted file in QT, and in my DVDR attached to my BIG screen TV. I
checked all that before I dared to say I could post it.
It looks like you might need to look at the settings of your DVD player
(and/or TV), and see if you can tweeeeeeek them a little.
How a DVD plays might be different between a computer DVD drive, a
stand alone DVD player, a DVD player/TV combo, a "set-top" DVD player
hooked up to a wide screen TV, or a "set-top" DVD plater hooked up to a
4:3 screen TV. I don't know what you have available and its settings,
but if you can try it in a computer DVD drive and software player, you
should see it is wide screen. If your non computer equipment setup is
capable of displaying a true 720i wide screen image, you should be able
to see it like that, one way or another. In any case, we have reached
the limit of my video conversion abilities, so good luck!
I don't need you to love me, so don't worry about that. LOL
