Just wondering is anyone knows if the Black bars down the sides of 4:3 movies are included in the Aspect Ratio. My example is the Star Trek:TNG DVDs. I have ripped them to my computer perfectly but there are black bars up the left and right sides of the movie. Do I resize to a 4:3 aspect as is or do I crop the bars and then resize.
I usually crop the bars then resize so my bits can be used wisely instead of being wasted on parts of the picture i dont need to see i.e. black bars.
