In case of a 16:9 TV when you "feed" it with a Letterboxed video stream the image will be sized proportionally so the width fits ... therefore the borders at the top and the bottom will be cropped. And thats also why you enjoy the advantage of anamorph encodings the height (wich is most importand for a sharp view) won't be resized that much as you would "feed" it with a letterboxed stream .. in an anamorph state the 720x576 stream will be resized to 1024x576! So the proportion will be correct and you see the active movie area at a 16:9 view in a better quality!
Thats also something in case of compression ... you can compress and compress ... alter the matrix, cut more frequencies, .. enlarge the GOP ... reduce the encoding size to 352x288.. performing a big overscan .. finally your movie will fit on one CD-R. In case of a "normal" TV its "ok" ... well maybe than it will be a bit better than VHS But as I said ... if one day you will own a big TVset for example a good beamer or even plasma *lechz* .. you will see a lot of whats lost according to the quality.
So go and get your DVD-R burner and do a "relax" encoding of your LOTR II Just to have one Safe Backup in case of ...

Hi Guys,
Let me see if I get it. Nowadays I own a plain old 4:3 TVset. I'm planning on buying me a 32" 16:9 model next year.
Anyway I'm just start doing my first KDVDs as untill now I just made a few KVCDs.
As a good KVCD fan I always did my movies with the MA-Script but you are saying that if I aim to have good quality movies I should forget MA.
More, you are saying that I should make my movies anamorphic. This anamorphic thing is not a new word for me but it always confused me a bit. Does it have to do only with the script or should I need to change something in TMPG also?
What about overscaning. Should I remove the overscan part of my "GripCrop(704,576, overscan=2)" AVS line?
Here is a copy of my AVS script of the LOTR II movie.
Can you guys give me a hand on what I should remove and/or insert on it so I can make good quality
anamorphic KDVDs compatible with my current 4:3 TV and with my future 16:9 TV...
BTW I always set TMPG to encode my movies in 704x576 for 4:3 display in full screen (keep aspect ratio) video arrange mode.
Anything to change here too?
Thanks in advance.
