One silly/naive question: when producing encodes for standalone viewing (as opposed to burning to disc), why bother to encode the full 1920x1080 (or 1280x720)? Why not just encode the “active” image area (1920x820 or 1280x546)? I find that any viewer that I care to use (VLC on PC, BSplayer on tablet/phone, built-in player on my Bluray player) can handle the file and readd the black bars on its own.
