Anamorphic PAL in Handbrake?

Question

I use Handbrake very sucessfully to encode my DVDs as mp4 for my IPod Classic. I generally use the default settings for IPod with a few tweaks, but am not sure about the anamorphic par setting.I leave it unchecked - does anyone know what effect it has on the movie?

Answer 1

it adjusts the picture to fill the screen, just like 'pan and scan' on a tv..

not really needed unless you use 'tv-out' on your iPod.
