What program will convert a MPEG2 video to MPEG4 retaining a playback aspect ratio?

What program will convert mpeg2 or (ATI *.VCR) video to mpeg4 retaining
a playback aspect ratio? Dr.Divx and ATI MMC change a mpeg2 file
playback aspect ratio to video resolution aspect ratio when converting
to mpeg4. For example, Dr.Divx and ATI MMC change a 4x3 playback aspect
ratio of a 480X576 resolution video to a 480X576 playback aspect ratio.
What program allows to edit a mpeg2 or (ATI *.VCR) video retaining a
playback aspect ratio?

Linux transcode
from man transcode;
--export_asr C
set export aspect ratio code C [as input]

Valid codes for C are:
1 1:1
2 4:3
3 16:9
4 2.21:1
Linux ffmpeg
-aspect aspect
set aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9 or 1.3333, 1.7777)

Thanks for your reply.
Will Linux transcode retain, not change video resolution in pixels?
Will it work in windows?

I need a program for Windows.

If the source code for transcode is availible then you may be able to
install Cygwin (UNIX for Windows) and compile transcode under Cygwin.

Cygwin is free from: http://www.cygwin.com/

I have Cygwin installed at home and work.

Is the source code for transcode available?
How to compile transcode under Cygwin?

Those Linux fanatics can be so annoying sometimes. Changing
OS is hardly an answer to your problem, seldom is.

Most any Encoder will allow you to establish aspect ratio settings
including the playback bit. I use the TMPGEnc Encoders 2.5 & 3.0,
but even most filter based encoders allow such settings.

Linux has its place, but it has a long way to go before it is able to
compete in the general consumer PC market.

While we're waxing philosophical, all that has to happen for linux to
explode in popularity is for game developers to start using opengl or
the like...

True enough, but the fact remains that, in the hands of a skiled user,
Linux is far more powerful than Windows.
