MPEG2 to DVD

[Chevyman803]

Hello...I think this is pretty simple so someone should be able to help me..I'm just unsure of what to do..I have coded a DivX movie to mpeg2...so how should i burn it to DVD? I have burned it with Sonic MyDVD and it worked perfectly...but it changes the resolution to DVD format 720x480, but I want to keep the aspect ratio that it has because it looks cleaner...any suggestions on what to do? thanks

Well, you haven't actually told us what the original resolution/aspect ratio was, so it's difficult to say. However, I can tell you that the DVD spec requires that you satisfy one of several alternative frame sizes/aspect ratios:

Furthermore, you should bear in mind the following, if you are transcoding to MPEG2 from a Div-X source (Div-X sources are often of non-standard, and relatively small frame sizes):
