An in-depth guide into the "Picture Settings" section of Handbrake. I cover each of the Anamorphic settings (Strict/Loose/Custom/None) as well as the Cropping section, including a few reasons why you might (or might not) want to use each.
If you're only interested in a certain portion, here are a few time codes to help you jump around:
1m10s - What anamorphic is, how it works, and why we usually want to use "strict".
4m22s - Why we don't have to worry about whether our source was anamorphic.
6m02s - Anamorphic "none".
7m20s - Using "loose" to resize, how "modulus" works, and why we should avoid mod16.
10m15s - Using "custom" to fix squished/stretched videos.
14m02s - Cropping.
I suggest watching in a larger window or in full-screen when possible. Additional write-ups about Handbrake and various encode settings can be found in the "Encoding" section at http://mattgadient.com/ .
