Converting 4:3 letterboxed widescreen to 16:9 anamorphic is not so simple, as the video needs to be re-encoded. You could try using DVD Rebuilder (you will also need an MPEG-2 encoder, e.g. HC Encoder) which has a 4:3 to 16:9 option.
Tell me about it... it's not as simple as clicking a button, since "16x9"ing a 4:3 image will stretch the black bars with the rest of the image.
Is there a program out there that will allow you to manually set the video frame (not just to crop out the black bars in a 4:3 letterboxed video, but say create a 2.35:1 video image out of a 1.85:1 video)?
