iDVD 16:9 Aspect Ratio Not Working

I just created a DVD with iDVD for a neighbor who already had the movie in AVI format, but needed a menu maker and a DVD drive.

We had the hardest time getting the 16:9 aspect ratio to work. iMovie recognized it fine, but iDVD kept playing back the video at 4:3 instead.

I found this neat little "droplet". I was able to drag the AVI file onto it, and it created an amamorphic video link file for the original file. Drag into iDVD and boom! The alternative was to purchase QuickTime to be able to access the Window -> Movie Properties menu.
