Fix Aspect Ratio?

Hi folks,

I'm really confused.
I have some home videos at 704x586 and they're anamorphic. When I play them in WMP it all looks fine and 16:9 as it should be. When I play in VLC it comes out like 2.35:1, i.e very stretched.

According to MediaInfo it has an aspect ratio of 2:35:1, but if I demux, open in Restream and resave with a 16:9 flag it still says the new video is 2.35.
Opening the same videos in the old tool DVD Patcher reports them at 16:9.

Any idea what's going on and how I can get the flag set correctly at 16:9 (taking VLC as the arbiter of the file being right)?

Thanks

Gary
