Does the Aspect Ratio affect the Quality?
Because I always prefer 16:9 and without border 2.35:1
If the source isnt a native 16:9 source, stretching it to 16:9 looks really bad. All objects have wrong shape, especially noticable on faces and other things, it really looks awful.

This source is a 2.76:1 source, so encoding at 1280x464 is the only correct way here.

And as already stated, the aspect ratio doesnt change quality, but when you encode it at 1280x464 which is the native aspect ratio of this source, instead of 1280x720 (which would be 16:9), the file size will be smaller, because you avoid unneeded pixels. If you prefer it 16:9 still, even though its a 2.76:1 source, you can still scale it in the player later (most media players and software players support zoom option, like zoom to full screen etc.). But its best to encode things at their native aspect ratio, to avoid unnecessary bigger file size.

QTGMC is a deinterlacing script in the first place- it gets rid of interlacing and does a little of denoising. But you can use it on progressive sources for things like sharpening or denoising purposes. But there are more powerful dedicated scripts for those things.

Your source is interlaced. It has some frame blending too, but because its a rather bad source and was recorded in a weird way, theres not much you can do to get rid of blended frames.

You could add a little sharpening to the video to see if you like the result. For example by using LSFmod(defaults="slow"), its also possible to add some sharpening with the QTGMC script (it has some parameters for it), since the source has basically VCD resolution, but Im not a big fan of sharpening at least not in movies.
