OK, thanks.
I've uploaded two screen shots from the menu of the DVD. As far as I can
tell from your explanation, there is no letterboxing going on (no black
bars whatsoever).

This shot shows the aspect ratio chosen by xines 'auto' mode:

The distortion can be seen from the border around the logo, which has to be
a square.
The aspect ratio is correct on this shot (manually set xine to 'dvb' aspect
ratio):

The latter is the aspect ratio automatically chosen by some hardware players
I tested the DVD in. WinDVD also automatically selects the latter.
