The DVD we produce will be an exact copy of how the LaserDisc was produced. In this case, letterbox widescreen.
We find that it is preferable to produce DVDs faithful to the original master. Squeezing the image to anamorphic proportions and adding the “wide screen” flag would not add anything to the picture quality. Instead, you will end up with a DVD that has been manipulated and is no longer a faithful transfer of the original master. The TV does all of that anyway with a click of a button, plus you will have a DVD that is faithful to the original master.
"Thanks for the great job you did transferring my family's reel-to-reel tape from 37 years ago! The audio quality was excellent. I've just sent our other 4 tapes to be similarly transferred."
