Better yet, rather than crop to NTSC res and have the ratio off, scale it straight up to NTSC anamorphic DVD res. This way you not only keep all the PAL res, but have it in the correct ratio. This, I feel, would be the ultimate SW transfer (using the French set that has Eng audio) as it would run at the proper speed and res would not be inferior to a PAL transfer of the same set (since the extra res over the NTSC transfer would just be scaled res). Wish I had the set & equipment to do this, would be great. That PAL screencap looks awesome.
