A DVD with 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio is ripping to 1:33
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2016 3:38 pm
OK. this seems really weird. I'm using MakeMKV to rip mostly Blu-Rays and a few old DVDs too. Just tried ripping "The Abyss: Special Edition" which is only available on DVD. The rip seems just fine until I use Plex Media Server to check the Metadata and it's displaying 1:33 when it clearly shows on the DVD case too that both the Theatrical Cut & Special Edition are in Widescreen / 2.35:1 - The image seems to be in the right aspect ratio when I play it but with black bars on the Top/Bottom of the image.
What's the deal here? Am I missing something?
