I thought that keeping the resolution the same during encoding as it is on the dvd (720, 480), that the aspect ratio would be off.

I thought the encoder uses square pixels at 720, 480, so the non-square pixels from the vob when encoded would be treated as square pixels by the encoder.
So then I though that through cropping and resizing and addborders the encoder was forced to use non-square pixels.

That's why I was confused when ripbot264 used the dvd resolution. Why use dvd resolution in the encode when the encode treats non-square pixels as square pixels I thought.
This must be wrong.
And that's how this thread started with me asking for cropping and resize for sd dvd ntsc 1.78:1 aspect ratio, which uses non-square pixels.
