Unless Zion plans to use the entire 480 pixels of vertical resolution for the picture, he will have to encode some black bars into the stream. No black bars would mean a resized picture of approximately 1136x480 to achieve the proper aspect ratio! Some PAL 2.35:1 anamorphic dvds are close to this, but, then again, they have the original print to work from. In our case, this would be a bit ridiculous since nearly doubling the resolution of a ~720x272 source video picture probably wouldn't look good at all. NTSC 2.35:1 anamorphic dvds almost always have some black bars encoded into the streams, with actually only 360-416 pixels of the 480 vertical res being devoted to the picture.
