First, I set up and mofidied the script slightly, made sure the appropriate packages were installed, then ran it. I set up a basic dvd.xml file, created the DVD files, and burned the DVD. It worked - mostly. What was interesting is that while the DVD seems to have copied, the aspect ratio was off. While the original disk was in 16:9, the copy plays in full-screen. Clearly I've missed something here, since the dvdauthor output clearly stated it was in 16:9 format. Any thoughts? I'd hate to screw up my home movies, etc, when doing this.To follow up: Argh! The copy plays using full-screen on my home DVD player. However, when playing via Xine, I get the full 16:9 aspect ratio. Clearly, there's something else I need to do. Anyone ever deal with this before? Perhaps my home DVD player is at fault, but I don't have a second one with which to test.
Try poking around your DVD player's configuration screen. Many have options for choosing what to do with widescreen video.
