Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - Upscaling and proper SD DVDs (704x480/576i)

I'm waiting to receive my discs from my folks back in the states. I downloaded some files someone else made to grab some screenshots.

It appears one of the files was ripped from a DVD without scaling and applied something to make it show at 785.4545. GSpot shows no s_d_extension and a completely erroneous PAR and thus an incorrect DAR. I can't make heads or tails of it. I didn't do the encode, so maybe there was some error that confused some header or meta-data (I don't know the true definitions of either word).

An NTSC file shows

SAR 1.500 (3:2) PAR 0.833 (5:6) DAR 1.250 (5:4)

MPC-HC is 654.54x480 and VLC is 720x528

I'm trying to get a better understanding of it all, but I'm sure GSpot must be wrong here or is unable to correctly read the file.
