I know I should be able to figure out the script for this on my own, but I'm pulling my hair out and I know you guys can fix this in a few seconds.

I have a video with a resolution of 960 x 544.
I am intending to put it on a dvd-r (NTSC) to play in a standalone dvd player on a nice 16:9 display.
I need an avisynth script* with the proper resizing. *Still the best way, no?

I have a lot of experience with authoring and I can do pretty well with cce on its own. But I can't drop the file straight into cce, so now I'm stuck. And I've done a lot of searching and can't quite wrap my head around what exactly I need for an anamorphic 16:9 standards-compliant DVD.

Do I just do a straight resize to 720 x 480 since the AR is as close to 1.78 as I need it to be?

I've read the guides and done my searching, I promise. I'm just inept and having a bad night for figuring it on my own. Thanks very much in advance for anyone that stops by to help.

Resize to 720*480 (DVD standard) and encode with a 16:9 flag. When played your DVD player will resize the picture to 480*(16/9) by 480 which = 853.3..... by 480 which has a PAR 0f 1.777.... which is close enough. When authoring for DVD you must comply to the DVD standards. What's important to the DVD player/TV when resizing is the vertical size, the horizontal size only serves to handle more detail( as with the vertical size).
