    Thanks for continuing to respond Eric. This is a neighbor’s player and screen. Been through all the viewing options on both, AFAIK no way to set player to WS. However the screen, a Panasonic, says the disk is 480i Standard, that means non-WS to me so maybe there’s a setup deep within that player.

    My big problem is which goes back east to play as a loop for 6 weeks in a museum. No telling what the staff and equip. there is capable of.

    Thinking this through: it sounds like I must take my 1280×720 clip and place it inside a 720×480 frame, and burn that to DVD.

    Is this what was happening 8 yrs. ago when I used DVD Studio Pro to create large screen movies? No way to check, those files are long gone now.

    I don’t understand, 5-8 years ago I created wide screen DVDs this way and they played correctly on large flat screen TVs. Do more up-to-date TVs no longer have the option of choosing wide screen? (Yes, they do have options: full, zoom, 4:3, yet none get it right.)

    Why does that old Trinitron display the entire image and yet the newer TVs not? Why does the iMac show the full image? Sorry if I seem dense.
