I noticed that the DVD case says "Copy Protection" and since none of my other DVDs have that on there, I thought that might be the reason.
I don't know. Any thoughts?
This isn't a problem with my aspect ratio settings in my editing program, I know I have that set right. It rips this way off the DVD itself so that when I capture it as an .avi file with VirtualDub it is being captured stretched out.
...you are describing the exact thing that happens with anamorphic DVDs. They don't have black bars encoded into the video, the video is stretched vertically to fill 720x480 and resized for 4:3 TVs through the DVD player. Actually, movies with aspect ratios greater than 1.78:1 *do* have black bars encoded, just because there are no TVs wider than 1.78:1. You must not have been ripping anamorphic discs before, or perhaps you were ripping 2.35:1, etc. discs and didn't notice the stretching somehow...
