I'm trying to burn dvds using the windows dvd maker in 16:9, but it keeps on
coming out in 4:3 ratio. I've got all the settings in the right place in my
dvd maker and my movies are all in 16:9 widescreen. Just wondering if someone
could please help me make my movies come in 16:9 ratio. Thank You for the
help

None of this works. Windows will only publish in 4:3 ( with black bars of to
make it 16:9). It's junk

The problem as it turns out is the JVC format. I found a program called "
sdcopy " that changes the tag to 16:9 and allows you to edit the file in
windows movie maker in 16:9 format.

I have a new Dell XPS 420 and new JVC video camera and get the same
problem. Only the software that came with the camera reads the files
correctly. I have been told by Dell that it is to do with Vista and
Codecs for file extensions not being available in Vista. In my cases the
JVC .mod files as well as .wmv files and files on an unfinalized -rw dvd
which are .vro give me problems whereby widescreen 16:9 video is read as
4:3 ratio. Obviously the software that comes with the camera has these
codecs - whatever they are.
Intead of using Windows Media Player, Dell installed "Media Player
Classic" which is an old video player, but one that allows manually
setting the aspect ratio and allows play of widescreen video in
widescreen mode.

Did Dell give you further information about whatever specific problem that
they're referring to? I'd suspect that the content is misauthored...
