[QUOTE="aajkaarjun, post: 31259, member: 14218"] I use Auto Gordian Knot with a fixed width of 848 pixels (848/480 = 16:9) and an 80% quality CBR encode using XviD (no need for multipass VBR). This ends up retaining all "useful" resolution within a DVD and encoding at a pretty high quality. I also experimented with the "100% quality" option but the gain was really not much and file sizes increased significantly. I use 848 pixels as a fixed width because an anamorphic stretch of NTSC DVD's 720x480 resolution resuts in 848x480 pixels on screen. AutoGK will trim off all excess black bars (for example, in a 2.35:1 movie) and compute the final resolution. This ends up maintaining all horizontal resolution from the original DVD. Another thing I have recently started experimenting with is doing an H.264 encode using x264. The idea is that since I have to do a resize when I do my XviD conversion I may as well resize to my projector's final resolution, i.e. 1280x720 rather than do a resize to 848x480 once at encode time, and then another resize (in hardware) to 1280x720 at playback time.
