Aspect ratio change with Format Factory, etc.

[bluenitepk-1296989]

I need some avi files to modify AR (aspect ratio) - from 4:3 to 16:9. Video players in the pc it can play without distortion, my older Sony dvd player does not. How it is possible to do it with transcoding programs such as Format Factory or similar? I tried it in AnyVideoConverter, but that it can only to crop that file (up and down). So the result is not it, distortion remained. I prefer to use a simple utility instead of video editors.
Thanks for the advice
Peter

You could try something like MPEG Streamclip (http/www.squared5.com/). I know you can change the aspect ratio with it but the option to convert to MPEG 2 for DVD was grayed out. When you converted with AnyVideoConverter did you get the letterboxing (black bars top and bottom or left and right)?
