"Wouldn't it be easier to do it as 16:9 from the beginning? A dvd player would letterbox it on a 4:3 TV anyway."

It would be easier, but if you watch it on a 4X3 TV (like I have) then the transfer has gone through two stages of dropping resolution (blowing up to 16X9, then having every fourth line removed to fit a 4X3 screen.)

Since a majority of people will be watching these on 4X3 tvs or computer monitors, it makes more sense to make both versions. I'm not putting all this work into my transfer just to butcher it with this double-whammy.

BTW, just want to say how much I appreciate you responding in the appropriate thread.
