Well, I fixed it myself.

No thanks to any of the several programs out there that apparently do not work.

Instead I found the hex string 01 B3 2C 01 E0 34

Where 34 is wrong. It should be 24. This will need to be replaced throughout the file, but it's a relatively simple process with a decent search/replace program.

Apparently the "wide screen" flag had been incorrectly set in the transfer process from camcorder to PC, thanks to using a little program known as "sdcopy" which claims to actually set the flag correctly. I don't know, but my files came out perfectly after turning that feature off. It may have some other obscure use that I cannot divine at this point.

Unfortunately there is NO way to undo the widescreen flag once it's been done, using sdcopy, except for doing it manually through hex editing. Or at least nobody has been sharing any methods for doing so.

Restream and Dvdpatcher both do not work.
