how do I get a menu play @ 16:9 when it is on first play?
is that possible?
I tried it with a 720x576 menu squashed and ready to be stretched acorss 16:9. Didn't happen. Currently trying with set to stretch.
Plays back fine (at 16:9) insdie DVDit (preview) but not fine (as 4:3 menu) when played with PowerDVD.

DVDit 6 doesn't support 16:9 menus. Working on 16:9 menu support for future revs. you can sort of cheat now by bringing in a DVD legal piece of 16:9 video into the menu space and not putting any buttons over the video that would cause a transcode. If you just use the highlight tool for your rollovers, the output will be a 16:9 motion menu. If you are just looking to play the disc on a 16:9 set, this will work great. If you are playing on both a 16:9 and a 4:3, you will find that, unfortunately, on 4:3 letterbox TV's, your highlights will be off.

oops, I thought it would.
But not to worry, I just needed a static screen saying something to the effect of 'put the DVD into a computer, that's where the actio is; nothing to look at via a TV'.
