To answer you Qs:
1 - Yes. Set your DVD player to deliver an anamorphic picture (usually by telling it you have a 16:9 tv) and set the LT150 to cinema. The LT150 will scale the 4:3 picture into a 16:9 area.
2 - When using an HTPC, set it up to output 1024x768. The application (SW DVD player or DScaler) will use all of the available data and place the stretched image on the screen with black bars on the other area(s).
This thread tells how to set up a 1024x576 desktop on the LT150. Some of the benefits are mentioned in the thread.
Good luck!
EDIT: Too quick on the send button! I meant to add, if you are using a HTPC, you might consider using a hardwired control cable from the serial port of the HTPC to the serial control port of the LT150. This would allow Girder to change the setup of your LT150 without using the projector menus. See my post in the same thread.
