I think I'm right but I want to double check on the group here.
704 x 480 NTSc capture of a 2.35:1 movie.
I crop the black bars off which leaves me with 272. I've manually fiddled to make it anamorphic and I come out with a height of 384 that matches my original capture.
I run the original file full screen. tape the side of the casing where the black bars are.
then I tmpgenc a bit of video and see if it matches.
with a height of 384 and add borders for the remaining height, top and bottom that to me looks like 2.35:1.
but some posts i've searched for have a lot of people resizing to 366 for vertical height off a 2.35:1 film.
is one example (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17792)
so am I missing a trick here. If I keep my file 704 wide to avoid a slight width distortion of making it 720, 384 seems to give me an anamorphic file that matches the original footage. but am I right?
