what's a good change from 4:3 (720x544) to 16:9 (???) ?
If you have a 16:9 movie you don't have to re-encode to get it to display on a 4:3 TV. Simply check the auto pan and scan option (as well as the auto letterbox one) in the IFO's video attributes. The IFO takes precedence over the VOB.

Correct, or some DVD players also have an inbuilt option to do this.
Though I have no idea why some would like to view 16:9 in 4:3 mode!
i'm not sure what i should use to resize this 4:3 movie to 16:9. any ideas? is it okay to do it manually or do i need a certain size? i came up with: 820x476. looks widescreen to me.
That can't be done. All the time you have a DVD on the 4:3 ratio as in the full frame you can't make wide screen out of it. You can get the screen to the wide screen shape but it won't be wide screen, you would only stretch it where the full-framed screen would be the wrong shapre and people's faces would be oval-shaped. The only way to get the DVDs in wide screen is to buy the wide screen versions.
Some people watch a full-framed video, DVD or a TV broadcast from a wide screen TV on the wrong screen setting such as the 14:9 thinking it's changed to wide screen and it isn't. Also, they do it on the 16:9 screen setting thinking it's wide screen without realising the top and bottom of the full frame is missing. Shops used to mislead customers into leaving their wide screen TVs either on the 14:9 or the 16:9 screen setting when a full-framed broadcast was going through.
