Then why does it say its better quality if you edit in higher res, in guide.

hell if I know. I just crop out the black margins and go from there when i edit, deal with the resizing later. I've become so routine with my setup I don't bother much with the newer methods. I'm still editing at 29.970fps :\, the 24fps editing method is too much extra work (lol i'm a lazy basterd) in my opinion, I only do it for projects.

It will always look right if you resize to 640x360 directly from the DVD without cropping (well, always crop to 704x480 first, but other than that). Anamorphic DVDs are 16:9, no matter what the real AR of the movie is. If it's actually 2.35:1 or something, it'll just be anamorphic and letterboxed. If you can't deal with the black bars, then crop to some mod16 resolution after you resize to 640x360 or 704x400 or whatever 16:9 res you're resizing to.

2.11:1 is a perfectly viable DVD Anamorphic resolution. :\

Oh, you can set 2.11:1 in the AR flag, but I seriously doubt any DVD player will read it correctly and I promise you no commercial DVD uses it.

Hrm... I would have expected more options in Anamorphic AR's for DVD as a standard. Guess there won't be any need once which ever company wins the 'HD-DVD' standard. Mmm, can't wait for an upgrade in that region.

Also the guide shouldn't tell people to upsample to 960x480, that's just wrong...

Upsampled 960x480 rather then downsampled to 640x360 yeilds better quality in the end. Viewers don't notice the lack of vertical resolution as much as you'd think. It's rather amazing how well a 4:3 352x480 DVD looks on television. You'd never notice that something was wrong,

How exactly does interpolating up and then interpolating back down help quality in anyway?

All I see people doing there is making the image blurrier than before...
