For me this brings up the question of what is the true DAR of a DVD source. Ie. If you have what used to be a T.V. program, which as we know is 4:3 (right?), but it has black bars on the side and the resulting AR after cropping them off is not 4:3, what do you do then? Use the bar-less DAR when calculating the SAR, or use the DAR with bars included, or just use the 4:3 DAR that you know it must be as a T.V. source? Quite confusing. For that matter, how is 720x480 4:3??
