Currently, I'm doing the vertical stretch (2.35 to 16:9) by using the MPC-HC option "video-frame->override aspect ratio->16:9", which correctly modifies the aspect ratio. The question is: with this option is MadVR doing the vertical stretch or it is the media player which stretches the picture a priori? If the latter was the case, is there any option to force MadVR to do the stretch in order to benefit from the high quality upscaling?
Definitely MadVR doing the work because I notice the rendering times increase for me when I'm playing 2.35:1 content vs 1.78/1.85:1 where I don't do that stretch.

I use the Pan&Scan>Scale to 16x9 to do the vertical stretch, however. Not sure there's any difference in the end result.
