[MPlayer-users] How to encode mpegs for 16:9 (wide screen) DVDs?

[Kichigai Mentat]

I hate to top-post, but there's no better place to do it. Try - 
aspect. That should set the input aspect ratio. There should also be  
an option for output aspect ratio. I know there's one for lavc, but  
I'm not sure about MPEG output. If not, there ought to be.
