Aspect ratio settings

Description of problem or question:
This query is designed to be posted on the Community Support page, if I have done it correctly:
I have tried to encode a DVD that has a widescreen aspect ratio, with black bars on the top and bottom. Yet when I play the encoded mp4 file in VLC Media Player , the black bars are eliminated and the vertical dimension is stretched at the top and bottom to fill the entire screen. This is not what I want. When I open the file in Movavi Editor and choose 16:9 ratio, the black bars reappear on top and bottom and are saved to another mp44 file with them intact. There must obviously be a setting in HandBrake that is not being set correctly. Can anyone tell me what I should change in order to keep the correct vertical dimensions (with the bars) in the encoded mp4 file?
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
Handbrake 0.10.5.0 64-bit version
Operating system and version
Windows 10 Home, Version 1709, OS Build 16299.431
