Changing aspect ratio of a DivX / XviD file

[Simebaby]

Hi All

I have a DivX file (.avi) that contains footage which is 16:9, but it has been encoded with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Is there any way I can convert / re-encode to give the footage it's correct aspect ratio?

Thanks

Si.

I've had a go with virtualdub but I'm not familiar with it - any pointers?

The footage will be played on a DVD player (as a DivX file), so the option to override the aspect ratio isn't there.
