@Sneals2000,

thanks a lot for your informative post, this is the first time I hear of that. I do have a few worries, though. Would you mind to address them?

(1) Does this only apply to BBC / UK, or to all PAL content world wide?
(2) Does this also apply to PAL DVDs?
(3) How about NTSC? Any similar sheenigans going on there, too?

I'm especially wondering about PAL DVDs. Since DVDs are all digital, and most DVDs are being encoded directly from the 2K (or higher) masters, I'm wondering if DVD encoding houses encode AR to 720x576 or to 702x576?

Thanks!

Call for test: Anyone who has DVDs and Blu-Rays of the same movie, please upscale the DVD to Blu-Ray resolution and check whether madVR shows the correct AR or whether the image is slightly squeezed.

P.S: Sneals2000, if you find anything else wrong in madVR, please let me know!
