[mythtv-users] Aspect ratio changes 16:9 to 4:3 using mythwebburn

I have a DVB-T card so my recordings are 16:9.  However, when I use 
mythwebburn (under Knoppmyth R5A22 - but with a very recent cvs copy of 
mythburn, needed to get around other problems)) the resultant DVD plays 
in 4:3 aspect ratio.  The image is stretched to fill the screen vertically.


Does anyone know what is going wrong?  Does mythburn assume 4:3?


I have been trying to see what the scripts do.  To help me, can anyone 
suggest which part of the process is changing the aspect ratio?  Is it 
the remultiplexing done by projectx, and if so, is there some config for 
projectx somewhere that can be changed. 


Alternatively, I see some other options, commented out, in the 
remplex.sh script.   Do I need to try   some of those for 16:9 ?

e.g. - this is the section I mean -

#You may find this is better with DVB streams although DVD author will 
moan a lot!
#   replex $src $dst

# 28-Dec-04 Added myth-mplex to handle DVB streams although its very slow!
#           although problems have been encountered with audio-sync on 
DVB streams
#   mythmplex $src $dst

# Only use replex or multiplex though - not both!
#   multiplex $src $dst

# Remux using projectx
   remux_projectx "$src" "$dst"
