Product Description:

This for-pay product includes Mac OS X optimized versions of all the MPEG Append variants: MPEG Append Force Anamorphic Force 16x9 Pan-Scan Force 4x3 MPEG Telecine and MPEG Frame.
MPEG Append appends one or more MPEG video files into a single file, applies the timecode information of your choice to the output file and collects any Final Cut Pro chapter markers from the source MPEG files and places them in the output.
Each of the variants performs the append function of MPEG Append and adds a specific change or edit type to the final file.
Force Anamorphic sets the aspect ratio of the MPEG video's display to 16x9 or anamorphic
Force 16x9 Pan-Scan sets the flags and window so that a single MPEG clip can be used full screen in both 4x3 and 16x9 applications.
Force 4x3 sets the aspect ratio of the MPEG video's display to 4x3 or full screen
MPEG Telecine adusts the inplayer telecine flags in the source video so that film sourced MPEG plays properly at NTSC rates on both computer and interlaced displays.
MPEG Frame sets the frame mode flag in the source video so that progressive playback devices can take advantage of the progressive source material.

What's new in this version:

Version 1.2 allows you to select the timecode format (drop frame, non-drop frame or as in the first file processed). This is useful when a particular format timecode is required by an application.
In addition, you can set the starting value for the timecode that is embedded in the output file, allowing you to synchronize the MPEG to the original tape or to any arbitrary standard.
This version also adds MPEG Frame, a variant of MPEG Append, which allows you to set the Frame flags in the MPEG 2 video so that progressive players can make the best use of the video.
MPEG Append Suite for Mac OS X is a free update to registered users via the internal update/registration mechanism.
For new users, a free seven day trial is available via the download URL. Purchase price is $49.

Don't bother trying this one... - Version: 1.5, 4/2/2006 12:10AM PST

I needed a way to change the aspect ratio of MPEG streams without reencoding them. I tried PullDownX but it didn't work correct. Then I remembered the (FREE) OS 9 version of "Force 4x3" and "Force Anamorphic" - both don't work using classic in either 10.3.9 or 10.4.5. I don't have a native booting OS 9 mac so I tried the OS X version of the "MPEG Append suite". After "buying" the trial(!!!) i opened one of the apps. I was granted with a "Register or try the Trial" screen but i never came past that screen, because it kept reappearing every time i clicked on the "trial" button. So i sent an email to <dvd_sp_helper@mac.com> and received this:

So don't bother trying this pile of c++p - if someone else has a suggestion for changing aspect ratios of MPEG streams in OS X, please let me know.

Seriously guys if you think a credit card is needed for the free trial/evaluation it won't happen. Also actually finding you guys was a major hassle in itself as you refer to a website in the product description, but don't bother with giving the URL. In all your business model seems seriously flawed.

Great Program. Was… - Version: 1.0, 1/6/2003 03:03AM PST
