Toshiba dvr620ku aspect ratio problems

Hello. I'm new here and am certainly not tech savvy, but I'm hoping somebody may be able to help me.

I'm converting VHS to DVD with the Toshiba dvr620ku. I recently had to copy something longer than 2 hours so I changed the speed from SP to LP. However, this resulted in the aspect ratio on the DVD to change. The sides were now squeezed in distorting the image. I tried it again in SP and the aspect ratio was fine, but I can't fit the entire video onto the disc. I am viewing the disc with VLC.

I know I can manually change the aspect ratio with VLC when playing, but I don't want to do that since these are meant for others to look at.

Does anybody know of a way to keep the same aspect ratio when recording in LP?

Thanks.

Bill

1) Ensure you are using "Video Mode" and not "VR mode"
2) After changing recording speeds, ensure you have set the AR correctly and not letting it default or change to AUTO.

Aside from that, likely a glitch (and there appear to be numerous AR glitches with this model.
