The simplest way I can see would be to use MPEG Streamclip to break the VOB files out to something you could re-encode and then author in DVD Studio Pro, choosing 16:9 letterbox as the display aspect on the track in question.

There may be a simpler solution but I'm at a loss.

The other question is: since 16:9 SD is anamorphic by nature, can you just change a menu setting in your DVD player to display the content correctly? My very first 16:9 DVD was Peter Gabriel's Secret World and it took me about a week to figure out that Peter wasn't really THAT tall and that I had set up my DVD player wrong (which I only realized when I played a DVD that hadn't set the anamorphic flag right).
