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.
Thank you very much for the donation, Mike. Much appreciated.
Best regards
Carl

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.
