Much of what you all are asking is in ADM's Editing Guide: http://www.originaltrilogy.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=12&threadid=3444
Also, if you are just looking to go from your NTSC DVD to Anamorphic (though I would definitely go from PAL), grab DVD Rebuilder.
On a most basic level it takes a DVD-9 and lets you convert to DVD-5 by Re-encoding (NOT recompressing like DVD Shrink).
You can also go DVD-9 to DVD-9.
What IS important is a little check box that says "Convert form LB 4:3 to 16:9".
Hit go! You need little knowledge to do it that way, and you'll keep your closed captioning, subtitles, menus, EVERYTHING.
EDIT: Circuit City is listing the DVDs at $14.95 each this week. So far the cheapest price I've seen.

Thanks a lot, Dr. M! I am really only looking to go to anamorphic and nothing more so I downloaded DVD Rebuilder, read about it and messed with it a little. It seems like it may be slightly confusing at first but I am sure I will get the hang of it.
