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

If you are loosing a noticeable amount of picture by watching your television in 16:9 mode, you must be in a partial zoom 16:9 mode. 16:9 equals 1.77:1. Movies presented in a ratio higher than that will still have black bars above and below the picture on an anamorphic widescreen setup. It is simple geometry.
My projector is permanently set as anamorphic. Material presented at 1.77:1 fills the screen. Above that, black bars top and bottom. Below that black bars right and left. Always the full, entire picture. Non anamorphic DVD's are essentially 4:3 (1.33:1). That means black bars right and left. Problem is, the 4:3 picture is letterboxed so there are black boxes all around (window boxed). That's a whole lot of nothing!!

[sarcasm]Silly people, 2007 is not the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, it's the 10th anniversary or the SE's[/sarcasm]

I made a similar but less tangible analogy in my first post on this board imagining that Jimmy Page decides to add a hip hop drum beat to Stairway to Heaven and refuses to acknowledge the original version. Star Wars is like a song to true fans. A song we used to know by heart.

I just saw a report about the DVD's on Fox News. They played up the fact that George is being selfish with the original theatrical cuts.
