Hmm, I just grabbed some images and checked the pixel dimensions - one thing is a bit
weird, QT Player and an exported single image tell me the source pixel dimension is
720*404 (including letterboxing) - yet DCP-o-matic says it's 720*576?
If I strip the letterboxing in Photoshop, the content is 720*319. That's a 1:2.25 AR.
Quite common to put side cropped CS images on DVD like this in order to reduce the
letter-boxing somewhat.
A bit weird, also that DOM is giving the vertical dimension as 576 when it seems to be
only 404, but it is still possible to create a proper DCP from it. You just need to
acknowledge the necessary letter-boxing.
VLC gives dimensions in statistics as 720/576, and extracts/snapshots a 1024/576 still
(incl. letterboxing), content stripped from letterboxing is 1024/454. But that is just a
different way to apply the anamorphic stretch (horizontal stretch vs. vertical
compression). It's both 1:2.25.
