keep black bars or crop?
probably been asked before but couldnt find a specific scenario.
anyway i usually use ripbot264 to make an mkv of an original bluray rip. the bluray is usually 1920x1080p and normally i would just leave it at that. but some films are 2.35:1 so black border. should i use crop to remove them and thus gain slightly more bit rate per pixel? for 1080p i normally fix it to 7.92gb 2 pass and use dts core. for 2160p i use 23.1gb 2 pass dts or ac3 core. ive noticed most rips ive seen elsewhere crop the black border. i usually use a PC and 1080p projector or my 4k hdr android TV to watch. |

Why not simply keep the Blu-ray discs original video stream? Large capacity HDD's are cheap enough these days!
