From widescreen to fullscreen

I have a video that my sister made (avi/divx) that was set to widescreen at 640x272. I want to transcode the file into a mpeg2 video that I can stream to my TiVo and convert it to fullscreen 730x480.
Is there a parameter that I can set in VLC (0.7.2 or 0.8.4) that will adjust the video not only into fullscreen (it does that now) but add bars to keep the aspect ratio correct?

I wrote a patch thats supposed to do exactly that for me, re-scale and padd any stream to PAL 720x576 format, using the --sout interface. You can get it here:

How do you apply this diff patch? I see in your instructions you note:
## apply as patch -p1 < croppadd-2-vlc-0.8.4.diff
How do you apply the patch? Command line?

Assuming you've set up a build environment and have the needed unix/cygwin tools installed, the usual build steps look like this:
tar xjf vlc-0.8.4.tar.bz2
cd vlc-0.8.4
patch -p1 < ../croppadd-2-vlc-0.8.4.diff
... and now continue as the source code build instructions suggest, eg. call bootstrap, configure and make.

You should push out your own distro.
