the reason why it looks like 4:3 full screen resolution is because of the stream headers (or rather the lack of stream headers). So I suppose most media players default to 4:3 under those circumstances. This is why the footage appears to have the wrong resolution. There are ways to resize the footage back to 16:9 though. I think TMPGEnc can do such a task. Or if you wanted to convert the footage to avi format, then an Aspect ratio of 704x400 is a good substitute for 16:9 resolution.

Thanks for the explanation. It is also noteworthy that most modern media players can just change the aspect ratio on the fly during playback (such as VLC). With this method though, you will have to change the AR every time you play the video.
Also, the note that the title screen FMV (Video 38) is letterboxed to 16:9 and should be played at 4:30 fullscreen resolutions due to this.
