Hmmm, but a 4:3 recording plays back with the same vertical height as 
the 16:9, just with a black border all around.  I thought this meant it 
is really a 16:9 with black added left and right.

That would be great.  I am only putting one show on the DVD at the 
current time though.

Well actually, the first one I tried, starts in 16:9. So maybe it isn't 
detecting it correctly for me.

Also, in the log I see this from dvdauthor
