You are correct. And update is simple.

If I feed my DVD recorder (Panasonic DMR E65) with DV (via Firewire, digital copy) there's no adding of borders/resizing. Same with commercial DVD authoring program (Sonic DVDit).
Your explanation goes in the right way: if DAR is 1.25 then AddBorders is added. Unfortunately many DV files have a wrong DAR flag (instead of 1.333/1.778 they have 1.25) or no flag at all. But, generally speaking, I have to trust what MediaInfo reads.

Do you get the same error by using the Preview Clip window from the main window?
Do you have a directshow compatible codec installed (like ffdshow)?

That's curious: in early AVStoDVD releases (up to 1.1.3) there was the possibilty to choose fps upsizing method (ChangeFPS, ConvertFPS or Pulldown), but I removed it because, theoretically speaking, the best way is Pulldown. Will go in ToDo list with low priority.
