Added a new question to the Q + A

I added an "a" question to the Q + A since the original answer also applies to it.

Q25A: I have a widescreen (16:9) TV and I want to encode an anamorphic DVD so it will fill the screen as much as possible.

Should I have made an entirely new question or do you think this is fine?

The original was this.
Q25: I want to know if I can get DVD2SVCD to bypass adding borders as I have an unusual need.

A: Easy, just select the 4:3 option, then no borders will be added. Again, do *not* do this on a 16:9 encode unless you have some oddball need and know *exactly* what you are doing and why you are doing it.

i think it's fine.

it seems to me it's not that oddball to encode anamorphic (ergo 4:3) if you have a widescreen tv. perhaps the extra warning is a bit overdone, newbies would be better served with a short elaboration on the subject. i'm thinking of a shorter version of svcd freak's explanation in the basic-forum-sticky.

wouldn't you agree?

cheers

The original I added on to was posted by DVD2SVCD, so I would rather not alter his statement.
If it was mine to edit I would.
