Free Imovie 4 And Idvd 4 For Mac

Using iMovie 6, using iDVD 6, movie recorded in 4:3 format. I want to burn to DVD and to play on a wide screen, 4:3 into a 16:9 screen with blank bands on left and right and no horizontal stretching. Like some clips on the evening network news that are not wide screen. In iDVD I select the wide format, import the video and it plays in iDVD with the gray areas on left and right. After burning the DVD it plays on a traditional DVD player in full 4:3 format, not letterbox as I expected. And if I play in a blue-ray player, it stretches horizontally.

And the DVD plays perfectly on traditional DVD players(as 4:3) and on blue-ray players as 16:9.
