832/464=1.793
16/9=1.778
Seems like a good enough chance that the file you have actually had a 16:9 aspect ratio originally but has been encoded at that rather strange resolution, most likely due to cropping and resizing. All you'd have to do will be resize it to 720x480 (NTSC DVD resolution) and then set the 16:9 aspect ratio in the options of the program that you will be using for... mastering the DVD?

The obvious choice would be ffmpeg/mencoder I guess, which you probably do know about already. However last time I tried them for MPEG-2 encoding I got somewhat strange looking results. I'm not really aware of anything else since my usage of Linux is rather limited and these sort of things I end up doing on Windows.
P.S. After a fast Google search I got
this.
Thread where I fished it out from.
