I can do that, but would be reluctant to change it, as commercial DVD's
play letterboxed.  I'd like to make the ones I burn be the same as the
commercial ones so I don't have to change the DVD player's settings each
time.

You shouldn't have to change the player settings frequently - the commercial DVDs won't play any differently with letterbox mode. They are already forcing the player to that mode by disallowing pan&scan. (As I understand it)

Commercial DVD manufacturers disable Pan&Scan flags on their DVDs because some customers complained that parts of the image were cut-off - the customers weren't aware that they could change the setting on their machines.


Thanks, ... and it worked. So, as long as other DVDs play like they used to, This solves the problem for me.
