Am I right then, that I get a better anamorphic picture when I take the NTSC GOUT DVD as source for resizing?
It's like:
NTSC Master Tape 720x480 --> Scaling to PAL 720x576 --> Scaling to Anamorphic PAL.
NTSC Master Tape 720x480 --> Scaling to Anamorphic PAL.
You can download 2 videoclips from my PAL DVD to compare your NTSC GOUT release:

Some infos for the custom-dvds:
GOUT ANH PAL video track: 5.924.363.248 Bytes
DD2.0 ANH audio track: 167.258.880 Bytes [@ Pal-Speed]
GOUT ESB PAL video track: 6.475.773.544 Bytes
DD2.0 ESB audio track: 172.439.040 Bytes [@ Pal-Speed]
GOUT ROTJ PAL video track: 6.659.388.916 Bytes
DD2.0 ROTJ audio track: 181.860.096 Bytes [@ Pal-Speed]
There should be enough space on ANH for a PCM audiotrack, even if you reencode the video at higher bitrate.
