Video aspect is wrong after DVD authoring?

I am having a problem Authoring a DVD. The Video Aspect appears to be incorrect. It is supposed to be Widescreen(16:9) but it appears to be 4:3. I used DVDit PE to author the Video. I used TMPenc to Encode and Kwags
DVD 720X480 template. Any idea where I screwed up at?

If it's a software player, is it WinDVD ? If so, your video is probably fine. Try playing it with PowerDVD and see if it comes out OK. On my systems, I find that WinDVD cannot properly play a stand along MPG that is anamorphic. If it has an IFO file associated with it, like on a DVD WinDVD will play it fine, but by itself it cannot.

Or after rereading your post I see that you have already made the DVD. OK in this case, if your incoming aspect was set to 16:9 and your outgoing aspect is set to 16:9 you should have no problem. How did you have TMPGenc set ?

Later ....
