Hi guys,
I'm currently in the process of ripping a library of DVDs and encoding them via Hybrid. Because I'd like the videos to be played in a browser over web, the videos need to be deinterlaced. From what I understand, it's also considered good practice to convert the PAR of the video to square for web video. My confusion stems from whether I should be squeezing or stretching the source when doing so - i.e for a 720x480 source with a PAR of 32x27 / aspect ratio of 16:9, should the picture be resized to 720x406 or 854x480? Or for my use case, should I omit converting to square PAR entirely?
