OK gang, a question for all of you.
I started evaluating Dr. Divx to see how good/bad of a job it did in doing automatic conversions from DVD to Divx. The original DVD is a 4:3, NTSC disc at 720x480.
Dr. Divx recommended that I encode this to 4:3, 640x480.
This got me to thinking, 720x480 is NOT a 4:3 aspect ratio, whereas 640x480 is! What gives here? Any insight? Would the best Divx resolution be 640x480 or 720x480? Why is 720x480 a 4:3 ratio?
As P.T. Gumby once said, "Ooooh... my brain hurts!"
