My ripping process goes as follows:

1) Rip entire movie with DVD Decrypter
2) If movie is slightly larger that 4.37GB I use DVD2One to shrink
the movie and extract unwanted stuff(warnings, languages...)
3) Burn with Nero

The problem I am having is that although the ripped and shrunken movie plays fine with WinDVD (widescreen...) after I burn the DVD it only plays as "Full Screen" on my TV. It actually may be fullscreen but stretched to fit the TV.

My question is: How might I alter the IFO files to force this to widescreen only so that it will play as widescreen on my TV? I now have 2 movies that display this symptom.

Thanks!

Well,

It seems that my DVD player has gone astray. While it does not play burned DVD's whose original movie was widescreen it also doesn't even play original widescreen DVD's. It is in repair... I verified this by playing burned and original widescreen DVD's on two friends players with success.
