Anamorphic?

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hmmm...

We would have to know more about your DVD sources to comment further. As some of them might not be 'widescreen anamorphic'...

Unfortunately many early NTSC discs were 4:3 not 16:9. Which introduces a whole new level of confusion

So in the first picture here, the resolution listed after I've cropped away the black bars is 1000x576:



But once I press okay, it says the output resolution is 704x404. What I've been told is that for a higher quality rip, I should encode that full 1000x576 resolution, but DVDFab can't do that. Is that larger resolution even better quality?

Like in Handbrake, for example, you can encode a 720x480 anamorphic DVD to have the rip come out to, say, 720x576, which gets the full resolution stored on the DVD.
