When burning a DVD

So I'm burning something to a DVD, and I used Windows DVD Maker (because I don't have anything better). It's a widescreen movie, but I set the aspect ratio to 4:3 figuring that that would cause it to make those black cut-off lines when I put the disk on through a normal (as in full-screen) TV. But no, the film stretched up and down to fit the screen, causing everybody's heads to look all tall and weird. SO, I re-burned the disk, changing the aspect to 16:9, figuring THAT would cause the black cut-off lines to fill in the rest of the screen. But no, the image still got distorted to fit into the full-screen.

SO, I need a better DVD burning program, that knows how to program those black fill-in lines to appear on fullscreen TVs.

Or a step-by-step instructional on everything I did wrong.

isn't that an option in dvd players also?

There should be an option that is something like, "retain aspect ratio" or "retain original dimensions".

If you find something like that, check it off.

So much better to burn dogs.
