Ok I tried to override it using a legal DVD dimension but it's still ignored using -vf scale.  Isn't -s deprecated can I still use it?

Before I remove -target altogether which would mean I have to set everything else manually, is there not at least a widescreen setting or some other way to manipulate the dimensions when using -target?  How to handle widescreen DVD's?

Thanks again!
