You actually write the script in notepad and save it as an .avs file. Mine looked something like this:

MPEG2Source("C:\Star_Wars\Video_TS\starwars.d2v")
Crop(0,60,0,-60)
Lanczos4Resize(720, 480)

I only cropped and resized. Of course you replace the path in the first line with the path of the .d2v file you created (leave the quotation marks in the script). You then open TMPGEnc Plus (you can download a 14 day trial) and select the .avs file as the video source. TMPGEnc Plus will generate the newly stretched .M2V file for you to use in DVD-lab Pro (a 30 free trial on this one). DVD-lab Pro will allow you to combine the new .M2V file you just created with the .ac3 audio file as well as the subtitles(with a little work).

I have been searching for a way to make non-anamorphic DVD's usable on my front CRT projector for quite a while. Many thanks to wmgan for posting this method!!!! I am now working on my Disney's Ichabod Crane DVD



Thanks for your reply. Actually, I'm all set with converting to anamorphic, it turned out really good. I don't think I need any more cropping and resizing via Lanczos4Resize, correct? Or is this what is helping me force 24fps video? Sorry if I'm sounding dense here, I just need the easiest way to fix the nasty burned in jaggies.

I'm open to using either DGIndex or GreedyHMA if someone can show me what (and how) to insert the script. I have both of the previously mentioned applications downloaded and ready. Just can't fix the jaggies...arrgh!
