Problem in encoding resolution

[raziel666]

I don't know if this is the right place for the question. I have a DVD I want to rip, and in DGIndex it says its resolution is 720x480. If I take a screenshot of it, the resolution is 853x480. Using MeGUI for this, I get the Input DAR ITU 16:9. I select the Clever Anamorphic Encoding with Resize to mod16 and after some cropping, I get the following script:

# Set DAR in encoder to 37 : 20. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 37
global MeGUI_dary = 20
DGDecode_mpeg2source("source.d2v")
crop( 2, 6, -2, -14)
LanczosResize(720,464)

When I compress and get the results the output video is so much different from the original. Any suggestions?

While the number of pixels might be 720 across and 480 down, the pixels aren't sqare! :) Either read the entry for 'anamorphic' in the MeWiki glossary, or read some of the stuff at seemoredigitals' fantabulous site.
