Alright, like many on this site I am making CVDs from not only my VHS tapes, but from DVD rips and sat. captures as well. My goal for these movies is to eventually put them on DVD and have a massive collection of 2 movie DVDs :lol: . The other day as I looked over the web and contemplated my first HDTV purchase I thought for the first time how these CVDs were going to look on a 16:9 digital set and I realized something-that I might have an aspect ratio problem on a 16:9 set.
here is a DVD rip (unchanged):

here is the way I have been making my CVDs:

Now I have never had the pleasure to fiddle with one of these sets, and I have heard people mention "zooming" with them, which I guess is simply zooming in the image...I am not sure. But it seems that if I want my CVDs to look correct on an HDTV (without the need of any special settings on the TV) I should be making my encodes look like this:

This is really just conjecture, but could someone with a widescreen (or HDTV) set clear this up for me so that I can optimize my future encodes for my future TV? Thanks in advance.
