Thor,

I had a look at setting up some custom high quality ripping settings, but I was stumped by how to do an anamorphic rip, ie no resizing, rip the orig 720x576 PAL video, but have it play correctly at 16:9 after encoding to xvid/divx.  

I got distracted before really having a good fiddle with this, but it did look as though one of the NTSC settings for "perfect" or "excellent" or somesuch was doing this?  Is it possible?

Thanks

Ed W
