I've been doing anamorphic encodes in H264 (AutoMKV) along with the MKV container but I find that up-scalling still gives the best results (quallity wise)...
A 18-CQ-CRF 1024x576 version of a (720x576 PAL 16:9) movie looks better than a 720x576 anamorphic version...

In DivX this relates to HD using the Q3 'constant quality' profile.
