Grym's mkv's is encoded in 1920x1080 res. @ 2.35:1, 1.85:1, 1.66:1, 1.33:1 film aspect ratio. Just like a retail Blu-Ray is! This will NEVER change, so don't ask! If you don't like that then go download the title you want somewhere else! The reason why Grym's mkv's are encoded this way? Read the Q & A below. Thanks!
 
 So how can I watch your not cropped x264 rip in the so-called 2.35:1 
 Anamorphic/Letterbox image, mate?

 ---

 First, what really matters in this Q & A text is that the movie is shown in the
 correct aspect ratio on the telly! My English is second language so bear with me.
 
 Ok second, we have Film Aspect Ratio = Letterbox, CinemaScope, PanaVision 
 etc. = 2.35:1, 1.85:1, 1.78:1, 1.66:1, 1.33:1 ect. Film Aspect Ratio is the
 ratio of the width of the visible area of the video/film frame to the height of
 the visible area, measuring from a 4:3 TV Display or from the Film it self.
 All the Cinematic Aspect Ratios/Framings mentioned just above apply to the
 HD resolutions 1080p (NOT 800p) and 720p (NOT 544p) and to the standard 
 resolutions as well, being the DVD resolutions 720px576p (PAL) & 640x480p (NTSC).

 Then there's the "black bars". In reality, these "black bars" are actually
 unused areas of the image. These areas are black to allow for better contrast.
 The wrongly called "black bars" is in fact part of the image! So if any part of
 the black unused areas is cropped/cut of the image then the original
 aspect/scope/letterbox ratio is lost! That goes for all BD/DVD resolutions!

 And then we have Encoding Aspect Ratio. For example full-resolution 2.35:1
 anamorphic aspect ratio encoding is 2538x1080. Blu-Ray discs is 16:9 (1920x1080 -
 1.85:1) aspect ratio encoded. But the original Film Aspect Ratio is still
 2.35:1 anamorphic/letterbox scope or 1.85:1 widescreen or what ever
 film aspect ratio. All depending on what Film Aspect Ratio/Framing the Director
 has chosen to use.
 
 So you have to differentiate between the two.

 Third, Yes I know that a Blu-Ray player cannot playback anamorphic/letterbox
 material (Film Aspect Ratio and Encoding Aspect Ratio) like the DVD player
 could, but the anamorphic/letterbox scope, as mentioned above, is still in the
 transfer/encode, so for this to work you have to rip the Blu-Ray disc to PC,
 and play it back anamorphic/letterbox from there (Film Aspect Ratio). Or just
 grab one of Grym's uncropped x264 rips and use that for anamorphic/letterbox
 playback from PC. Let's move on with the how's and do's of showing a correct
 2.35:1 anamorphic/letterbox aspect ratio shot image on your 16:9 tv screen. 

 You can watch the movie in original 2.35:1 anamorphic/letterbox scope,
 like you do in the theater, by setting the aspect ratio in your software player
 to 2.35:1. Aka Panavision, Cinemascope, Metrovision ect (anamorphic/letterbox)
 
 Example: 

 Start up MPC-HC. Open a 2.35:1 Grym mkv encode or retail BD 2.35:1 m2ts file in
 MPC-HC. Right click in center of MPC-HC screen. Choose 'Video Frame'. 
 Choose 'Override Aspect Ratio'. Choose '235:100' (2.35:1). A lot of software
 players has a aspect ratio setup more or less like this, so with a tiny bit of
 effort anyone should be able.

 Display Aspect Ratio setting on your 16:9 flat screen you set to 1:1 pixel 
 mapping or whatever the name is on your telly. On my own Pioneer Kuro LX5090H 
 16:9 flat TV it's called Dot by Dot

 If set correct then the image on your 16:9 flat screen should look like the
 Aspect Ratio Images shown just below in the 'Aspect Ratios on 16:9 flat TV'
 paragraph. 
 
 Ok, now try using same playback procedure with a cropped so-called "2.35:1"
 1920x800 rip/file. 1920x800 cannot be 2.35:1 on a tv screen. It's impossible!
 On a correct set tv screen it get's stretched to 1.85:1, because part of the 
 black areas are cropped of.

 2.35:1 looking like this - Image:  http://someimage.com/ll7hnDY

 and then 1920x800p cropped to this (1.85:1 Framing/Aspect Ratio):

 If you want to watch 1.85:1 aspect ratio movies in the correct aspect ratio
 you then set the aspect ratio to 2.35:1, as well, and the image will have the
 "small" black bars. Image:  http://someimage.com/90ZxXoJ

 Aspect ratios on 16:9 flat TV (Display Aspect Ratio setting on TV set to 1:1
 pixel mapping and resolution is 1080p):

 1.33:1 - Black bars on all sides of image (4:3) - Aka 1.37:1 Academy Standard
          Image:  http://someimage.com/rLrxESc
 
 1.66:1 - Black bars on all sides of image (Small L+R) - Movies
          Image:  http://someimage.com/1ck9wcT

 1.78:1 - Full screen. Image fills whole of screen (16:9) - HDTV & Home Video
          Image:  http://someimage.com/BqgDoMB
 
 1.85:1 - Black bars Top & Bottom of image (Small) - Movies, HDTV & Home Video
          Image:  http://someimage.com/90ZxXoJ

 2.35:1 - Black bars Top & Bottom of image (Big) - Aka 2.40:1 & Anamorphic Scope 
          Image:  http://someimage.com/ll7hnDY

 2.35:1 on a theater screen:  http://someimage.com/aopL0DM
 

  Why don't You crop 2.35:1 Film Aspect Ratio Movies?
