Thank you len0x for this great tool! And if anyone can answer this, I'd appreciate it.

I like to encode to a picture size of 720x480 then play back on my standalone (DVP642) and use my tv's "enhanced 16:9" mode to squeeze it vertically.

I've read to do this, set "fixed width" at 720, and under the hidden options, .aspect to 1:1, .autocrop to thresh=0 and everything else in .autocrop to 0.

However, this always results in AGK choosing a resolution of 720x544. This is using beta 2.01b.

I found a workaround, if I edit the .aspect file manually to 72:48, the file does indeed come out 720x480. But what I was wondering is since this sort of a workaround, is there any resizing going on during processing anyway, despite the input and output resolutions being the same? Just like to know that I'm not putting it through some processing steps that are unneccary, and might alter quality?

Version 2.02 will have an "original" AR option instead of 1:1 that actually is not useful in this matter.

Regarding additional processing - I would expect avisynth resize filters to not do any processing if input and output resolution is the same.
