(bad because you need more bitrate while you don't gain any additional detail).
"bad" is a relative term here... your not trying to fit a mkv file to a dvd or other type of size restricting disc...so who cares if the final mkv file is 2.4gb rather than 2.1gb for example?
Ultimately it's up-to you what resolution you use to generate your encodes....
Some people prefer to generate cropped encodes with "non-square" pixel (ie: anamorphic) resolutions, such as: 720x432. Others prefer to generate cropped encodes with "square" pixel resolutions, such as: 1024x432.
When the video decoding chip-sets within hardware players were limited to support a maximum resolution of 720x576 (total 414,720) pixels, you had to generate anamorphic encodes if you wanted the image pixel area of your encode to match that of the source.
Today however, the video decoding chip-sets within hardware players are able to support a maximum resolution of 1920x1088 (total 2,088,960) pixels. So you're perfectly able to generate encodes at say, 1024x432 (total 442,368) pixels
So maybe encoding to a anamorphic size doesn't matter all that much anymore with latest hardware players/ computers? The media tank I use seems to be able to handle the high resolutions that he talks about, so I wouldn't need a anamorphic encoding....
Here's some links that might be helpful

It seems that MeGUI has a function called "smart anamorphic encoding"
when encoding with x264, leaving the black bars doesn't adversely effect the overall bitrate as much as it does when encoding with mpeg2, or so I've heard.....
I don't think the college experience went well for our little Zigfried....
Wait, does that mean I can't post here? I'm confused now.
Long live Zigfried.

And for god's sake, use some punctuation on your sentences!
And take some of the punctuation OUT of your username, while you're at it!
Wait...
Is this the right thread
You cant put space between words, thats why my username is the way it is.
Hum, wrong again.
I knew it.
Zigfried?

I see. So who has a version that is as close to the Original Movies that I saw in 1977, with the best quality?
I am talking the Original, no Special Editions of any kind. I don't even like Star Wars with C3PO's explanation of the tractor beam deactivation. I love the almost silent computer files sorting in front of the characters. Very nice.
I don't mind grain but I do want anamorphic.
Any advice?
What you want does not exist anywhere. Sorry.

Well i like them but the ghostbusters 2 could use some work here is what i did with it.
Wow that looks much better. Good Job.
luke.the.darkside.is.fun said:
Well i am all out of ideals, So maybe someone with the right pix, Can make one?, Im biding out of this, I give up and I done everything that you guys told me to do, Im handing this job to someone else.
Why should someone work for you? Most people are too busy to have a second job.
Pictures still too blurry.
You cover is too small now. You need to post as a small thumbnail but keep the original size.
luke.the.darkside.is.fun said:
Cool i got a gold star! lol Anyway, I have redone one of the covers, I hope it looks better.
no still looks like crap.
Hey look is Anakin Skywalker and not Hayden Christensen....finally.
Looks very good D_J. Thank you.
I like it DJ, but can you do anything about the purple light saber? The blue looks really blown out to me....anybody else see that?
But I like yoda and luke, they look real good.
PS Anybody else see the red halo around Darth's saber? Maybe all the colors are really blown up and might need to be turned downed?
I'll have to see a shot or two of yoda. Is he green or brown? or blue?
Zion can you please just release the X0 captures? Why won't you do this?

I actually feel a little bad for my comments in this thread, I'm actually happy that you finally working on a way of sharing the work that went in to this project, Zion.
Same here. Although there was a time when I was completely taken in by this project...which is why I became so disappointed by its cancellation.
Sad thinking about Laserman though, puts everything we do here into proper perspective...
It looks beautiful DJ. I vote for the fuzzy subs, very nice. Are you going to re-render the MBE of Star Wars with these latest tweaks?

that is why it is a very nice thing g-force did by posting his scripts on the first page of his thread, if people are dead set against it, there is always the option to do it yourself, but like I said, I am not final yet, but getting close.yeah after you went and synced up all the audio.....
Not following you, what are you getting at with that statement?
(note to self, I must put happy faces in cryptic posts)
What I meant to say was that you've done all the hard work....after all the work YOU''VE done to sync up all the various sound tracks to the GOUT, its going to be realitivly easy for someone to make their own verions...
We owe you a huge debt my friend. Who in the Hell would have the time or patience to sync up, what was it, 12 or so different tracks spanning the 3 films? Dam that was a crap load of work and you did it. Thank you.
By combining G-Force's script with your synced up tracks we've all got it made.....

+1, the new ones are too yellow. The tweak in post 1134 looked better to me as well :-)
got to agree. post 1134 +++
you know what?
It looks pretty tit awesome DJ. I take back back what I said earlier....I like it.
You've done a great job.
