I had a similar problem, where I record in 16:9, but nuvexport and
ffmpeg was transcoding everything to 4:3. I resolved it by hacking the
code in /share/nuvexport/exports/ffmpg/dvd.pm. change the lines from 138
onwards.
Google for the ffmpeg command line options, and you will be able to
force the aspect ratio etc.
Unfortunately I updated my copy of Nuv just the other day, and have just
realised that I did not have the modified code before hand, or I'd post
the change. It wuould be fairly strightforward to dump a question about
aspect ratio in the code.
