Info Wanted: Anyone Planning on making Anamorphic versions using 2006 OUT DVDs?
Time
This is my first post here after reading this forum for the last few weeks. You guys seem to really know a lot about DVD authoring. I'm hoping someone can help clarify something for me.

I have a widescreen LCD tv and the Oppo 970 upconverting dvd player. I want to make anamorphic versions of the unaltered trilogy from my letterbox discs in order to take advantage of the upconverting feature of my dvd player. I thought I would be fine with zoom function on my tv, but that seems to cut off some of the subtitles. My dvd player has a zoom feature that doesn't cut off the subtitles, but there is no zoom scale that fits the tv perfectly. So my questions are these:

Will converting these discs to anamorphic make it look better than the tv's zoom function?

Will converting to anamorphic make it look better than the DVD player zoom function?

Is there a way to use DVD rebuilder to convert to anamorphic while not decreasing the output to DVD-5? I know you have to re-encode to do the letterbox to anamorphic conversion, but I can't find an option that allows me to have a target size for DVD-9.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
