They should be viewed in Wide/16:9 mode even on a set with a 1:1 mode, or a small error in aspect ratio will result.

I think you are getting non anamorphic dvd output confused with anamorphic dvd output. Yes, non anamorphic DVDs are tougher to make display properly correctly on some HDTVs.....but this isnt going to be the case with these encodes, obviously

Needlessly resizing the video horizontally will lower quality. The script could easily be adjusted to remove the horizontal resizing.

If you dont want to resize it to the full area afforded by the anamorphic enhancement.....you want him to take out the resize all together and just make a separate non anamorphic for you? cmon now its call working with what you got

There is not a snowball's chance in hell that I would confuse non-anamorphic and anamorphic DVD output. Anamorphic DVDs are not at all hard to make, and this has nothing to with making a separate encode for me. I can and will make my own. This is about ensuring the best possible release for the community.

I never said I wanted all the resize taken out, Resizing for anamorphic needs to involve vertical resizing of the GOUT image, not horizontal. Horizontal resizing is not necessary and will adversely affect the image. A 704x480 DVD does use the the full area afforded by anamorphic enhancement, and yes I support an anamorphic release.

All anamorphic DVD require display at 16:9/Wide mode. Displaying them at 1:1 is simply wrong, unless you are almost certain that the studio neglected to take nominal analogue blanking into acount when authoring the DVD, in which case the studio made an error.
