Hi. I'm just trying to understand this better because as I read up on the subject, it seems since anamorphic is just taking a stored image and displaying it differently by stretching or squeezing. If this is a fact, then why would resizing matter at all? Or what are the benefits? I did some videos in handbrake a while back and noticed the strict anamorphic (default option) output a 4:3 video at a resolution but when I put it into iTunes, it lists it as 640x480. Does this mean they were resized by default? Won't resizing decrease quality of the s My avisynth/megui encoded videos look fine but the resolution is not listed as 640x480 when I out it in iTunes, it lists it as the original (assuming non-anamorphic) resolution. It displays fine but I'm just wondering if this could cause any problems?
