I have no idea - really - what I am talking about, so feel free to ignore me if I make no sense - but...
I have found when clipping from source that is widescreen, that the DVD rip is actually anamorphic - it does not have those nice little bars at the top and bottom to smoosh it into place when I pull it into the time line and as a result every one is very tall and skinny. In the case of Buffy, this is just disturbing as all get out.
So to add the bars to the source, I have tried a number of things - the one trick that works the best (using Premiere - cause I gave up on figuring it out in VDub) is to go to the effects palette, pick transform and set the height adjustment at 75% for each anamorphic clip. This is, of course, with in 4:3 project settings. This just adds bars to the final avi so that it is actually a 4:3 project, but looks widescreen. I think. I could be totally wrong here.
