Typically*, cropping the black borders on both sides is followed by resizing the video to either 640x480 or 768x576 to maintain a 4:3 aspect ratio. In this case, however, the video **(704x480)** was encoded with a **```Sample Aspect Ratio (SAR)```** of **10:11**, which was passed on to the AVC encoder. This resulted in the video being stretched to 704x528 (**1.33:1** or **4:3**) during playback. Despite this, the video remained slightly horizontally stretched. To correct the issue, the output **```Display Aspect Ratio (DAR)```** in the .mkv container was set to a value of **1.303703**. The final result is the displayed image being identical to the original source before cropping, with no added horizontal or vertical stretching.

You had it right the first time. When there is a 16 pixel border, the 704px image is 4:3, and this is how DVD players (old ones with analog outputs, not upscaling/HDMI) displayed it.
[@ElCid](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1918335#com-1) Well that's why I kept it as a soft DAR correction. You could always extract the video track and then mux it back to lose this. Personally, I just don't like the slightly stretched image, even if that's how it was intended to be displayed.
