Why would you like to add black bars? As said before, it´s not necessary in MKV. The test video looked great on my PC aside from the pulldown. In my opinion it only would blow up the file size and make it more complicated to edit the video or using anamorphic lenses on beamers etc.
But if there´s a good reason to do so maybe you could do a version without.
The reason is so you can play it on a blu-ray player and remove the requirement to use a PC or other device. Adding black bars is negligable in terms of file size (it's all black and never changes), and also, it does not make it more complicated with anamorphic lenses at all. It will be the same as playing any blu-ray. On the other hand, if it was encoded without the black bars, it would need to be re- encoded to be blu-ray compatible (extra work for Puggo, or video loss for us if he doesn't do it to begin with and leaves it up to us to re-encode). I am not 100% sure if what I am saying is true about the 720 requirement because I haven't tried to create a blu-ray (actually I mean an AVCHD DVD) from Puggo's file yet to test it. Maybe it is not needed.
