Setting the DAR in a VCD

[Daijoubu]

I've been searching for hours and haven't found a answer yet.
I have a 352x240 VCD compliant MPEG-1 file that should be playback in 16:9 aspect ratio

I don't want to re-encode it in letterbox

Is there a way to set the DAR in order for a DVD Player to automaticly add black border while displaying in a 4:3 TV? (I'm aware that not all DVD Player support the DAR)

When i open a .dat file, BSPlayer knows about the right aspect ratio to use

Any help will be appeciated (except telling me to Virtualdub it )

As far as I know, standalone DVD players will only display VCDs in their encoded format...

You don't leave many options for helping you (It could be re-done rather easily in TMPGEnc - but that would entail re-encoding)...

DVD-players just ignore AR-flags in vcd/svcd. if you don't have a tv-set capable of showing 16:9 you should just reencode the video to include the black bars.
