I've never quite grasped the 1440x1080 thing... I THINK it has something to do with the shape of the pixels, I'm not sure. Is that natively a legal AR for Blu-ray, or if you import an MKV file with that AR into BDRB, will it simply automatically add borders to bring it to a full 1920x1080?

In other words, if I were to take that MKV file and run it through TSMuxer into a BDMV folder, I think I tried that before and my OPPO just stretches it horizontally to fill the screen instead of rendering it in the proper 4:3 AR. What exactly does BDRB do with a file with that AR? I've never been able to figure out how to place an MKV file with the 1440x1080 AR into a BDMV folder and have it play properly without re-encoding it and adding borders.

And if that AR IS legal for Blu-ray, then why won't my OPPO display it properly if I just mux it through TSMuxer into a Blu-ray format? Do I have to change some kind of 'flags' or something, and is that what BDRB does? Can someone explain that to me. I've never really understood that...
