[NTLUG:Discuss] Video question

[Fred]

Not sure who to ask about this, so here goes:

I have an avi file that I want to burn to a dvd. I used ffmpeg to 
make it into an mpg file, then dvdauthor to make it ready to burn.

Somewhere along the line the aspect ratio got hosed. Nowhere 
can I find any way to letterbox the original's really widescreen 2.35 
aspect ratio to a standard ntsc 4:3. I know it can be done because 
I seem to remember letterboxing a 16:9 video once. 

Should I have used mencoder instead of ffmpeg?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Fred
