16:9 Display problem...

[katana]

Normally when I play commercial DVDs in my DVD player, the picture appears at the correct size automatically ie 4:3 or 16:9 etc.
However, recently I shot some camcorder footage in 16:9 widescreen mode and transferred this to DVD via a standalone DVD recorder. When viewing it on my TV, it defaults incorrectly to 4:3 size, and I have to use the TV remote to set it to 16:9.
Is there any way to get this DVD to play automatically at 16:9 without having to manually set it via the remote each time? Maybe it's not authored correctly?
Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

You'll need to make a new DVD with a very small change in the IFOs.

Copy the DVD back to the hard drive. Open it in PgcEdit. Locate the titleset(s) giving trouble. Right click on any title in the relevant titleset, select domain stream attributes and change it from 4:3 to 16:9 automatic letterbox. Click on OK. Do for all affected titlesets. Save and burn.

Thanks for your reply.
I hadn't really used PgcEdit before, but that seems to have worked. Plays fine now at 16:9 as it should!
The only small glitch was that the appearance of the DVD Menu became corrupted slightly on setting it to 16:9 in PgcEdit, so I left it at 4:3, but it's only a small picture so doesn't really matter.
I'm not quite sure why the DVD is initially set incorrectly to 4:3 on transferring from camcorder to DVD recorder. May be some small option somewhere in either the camcorder or dvd recorder that needs changing.

The menu needs to stay in 4:3. Only change the VTST (titles domain). VTSM (menu donain) should have stayed constant.
