Simple .TS to Anamorphic DVD?

[ejp]

I've never really done any to-DVD encoding, so please bare with me.

I have a .ts file: 1920x1080(i) resolution, 16:9 AR, 12mbps, 29.97fps (26.24 fps Telecine), 384kbps ac3.

I want to encode this for DVD. However, I want to make it an anamorphic DVD.

1. What method/tool should I use to do the encoding? TMPGEnc? Any particular settings to use for TMPGEnc or whichever tool I use? I'm open to anything; preferabley something simple, just as long as the quality isn't disappointing.
2. How would I go about making the DVD anamorphic? Is it in the encoding process? Or is it some header editing? Whichever it is, how can I do it?

Thanks.

Here is a cut and paste from my avi to DVD guide. I don't know if TMPGEnc will work with HD mpeg2 but give it a go anyway.

You should first demux from ts with ProjectX (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115063) or if dosen't like HD use DGIndex (http://neuron2.net/dgmpgdec/dgmpgdec.html)

A step by step guide, first using Tsunami Mpeg Encoder (http://www.tmpgenc.net/) to make a dvd compatible mpeg2 file.

The wizard makes it easier so if it doesn't start up with the wizard you can select it from the file menu. Under the DVD heading select PAL or NTSC depending on what your DVD player uses. If your Video is in widescreen select the 16x9 option. The fastest setting is "CBR mpeg-1 Layer II." But if you have a couple of hours and want better quality select "VBR mpeg-1 Layer II." In the next window select your file, select non-interlaced and 1:1 (vga) (for your HD TS file ejp, you may need interlace, bottom field first unless you're sure it is all progressive). Have nothing selected in the next window the filter settings window. In the Bitrate settings window change the estimated file size to about 90% of the size of your dvd medium or until the bitrate is 6000kbps, which ever comes first (to allow some space for authoring and menus). Then in the next window select "Output video and audio as individual elementary streams." You can then start encoding immediately.

Next you will need DVD Author GUI (http://download.videohelp.com/liquid217/dvdauthorgui.pl). Click the add title button and select your new video and audio files.

Click the chapters button. I like to just add chapters every 5 mins like this:
00:00:00.00
00:05:00.00
00:10:00.00
00:15:00.00
00:20:00.00
00:25:00.00
00:30:00.00
00:35:00.00
00:40:00.00

If you have multiple files on your DVD then you will need a menu. You can make a picture of your menu in paint, save it as a bmp and turn it into an m2v by clicking menus -> create m2v still. Then click the menu button and make your DVD buttons.

Click file -> create iso after authoring and click the author button. After it makes your .iso you can test it by opening it up in Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php).

If the iso is good burn it to a DVD with your burning software in image mode (not data or video).

I did some testing and found tmpgenc can't open the files outputed by ProjectX but if you index the ProjectX m2v with DGIndex the d2v can be opened in tmpgenc and all the other settings work fine.

Don't re-encode the audio with Tmpgenc just use the ac3 outputted from ProjetX when you author the DVD.
