Thanks guys for the input. You are correct, the letterboxing is part of
the image -- I hadn't realized that. I haven't done all that many feature
films so I'm still in a learning curve here. But cropping will take care
of it for sure.
Carl, I just made a long-overdue donation (something I've been meaning to
do for months), thanks again for the great software and your continued
work on it.

Hi Carl-
I'm not sure what's going on with the DCP-o-matic scaling options....
I remember Carl announcing and doing a complete rehaul of the scaling
options a while ago.
But I think we need to accept that there is no easy way to do it - there
are simply to many constraints to follow, and the nature of much content
being letterboxed doesn't allow for too much choices being done
automatically.
Maybe there is a way to describe the scaling options in a straighter way,
but we will never get away from a choice of aspect ratio numbers in a
table. Some things simply need knowledge to be done properly.
Maybe Carl can overlay a Flat, CS and 16:9/1080p grid in the preview
window? I always find the visual reference of the preview window helpful.
- Carsten
