OK, I understand the 432px: PAL DVD is 720x576 in 16:9 aspect ratio. 2,35:1 AR of the same DVD is then 720x432. But why 1024x432, why the upscaling, if I set 'original size' in my player?
Wait a minute......... 1024/1,78 (16:9) = 576. So why does it say PAL DVD 720x576, 16:9 AR , when the 16:9 would be either 1024x576 or 720x404? Is it 720x576 minus the black bars, or is it 576 pure vertical resolution and they somehowe interpolate to get from 720 to 1024?
