Reported by smacdiarmid, Nov 6, 2008
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download using DVD (NTSC mpeg-2 AC3)
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The shows aspect ration should be 4:3 (which works fine using no conversion).  But for some 
reason the ratio gets changed to 16:9.  This happens when trying to play the file through VLC 
and on my TiVo via TiVoGoBack.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3 OS X 10.5.5

Please provide any additional information below.

That was done on purpose but now I'm thinking that may not have been a wise choice  :(.

  If you want,  open

  /Applications/iTiVo.app/Contents/Resources/re-encoder.pl

  with any text editor, and find the DVD NTSC line.  change 720:480 to 640:480, and
aspect=16/9 to aspect=4/3.  I'm working on a more user-configurable list of formats
for a future release, but that should at least fix it for you for now.

Ok, marking it as 'as intended'.  The new dvd format specifically says 'widescreen'.
 More modes should be added for different aspect ratios..
