Attempting to use avi2dvd v0.6.1 on a Windows7 machine to convert an MP4 PAL movie to record to a dvd. The movie is in 16x9 format and plays fine in VLC in widescreen format. When the file is opened in avi2dvd, it shows the resolution at 1280x720. I leave the input setting at 16x9 and also choose 16x9 in the output section. I created a simple menu to display the title screen and with two subtitles buttons (off and English) and a play button. I do not choose to convert from PAL to NTSC.

Everything appears to run correctly, but the encoded_video.mpg files created in the temp directory are 4x3 and the DVD plays on the computer in 4x3 also. They appear to be stretched taller so people are tall and skinny.

Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there something else that needs to be done to have the 16x9 movie encoded in 16x9 format? Another note is that the popup helps on the input aspect ratio state that avi2dvd calculates the correct A/R so don't change this option, but if I load a different movie that is 4x3, it still has the 16x9 button selected.
