But why is it that the "true" DAR includes black bars? Surely they are not part of the actual image, and it should be resized to 4:3 without them. Like if you cropped to 704x576 to give the full image, shouldn't that then be resized to 768x576 (instead of 751x as with counting the black bars) to give proper AR since the original T.V. show was 4:3 (and had no black bars originally)?
