Yep, the nuvexport I have does the same too.

Here's the advice I got (it's probably archived here - but in case you 
can't find it)

No official fix that I'm aware of. The problem is that nuvexport forces all 
recordings to 4:3 format whether or not you want it to. (Hint: It should 
really be a user defined option!). You can make a quick change to DVD.pm to 
use 16:9 instead. 

ffmpeg/DVD.pm (in /usr/local/share/nuvexport/export/ffmpeg)make the following change: 
In the section marked: 
# Force to 4:3 aspect ratio 

Replace or comment: 
$self->{'out_aspect'} = 1.3333; 

With: 
$self->{'out_aspect'} = 1.7777;
