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. Thanks!

 Q & A:

 1. Click link below for Guide to help setting up OS, MPC-HC & LAV Filters for
    Bit Streaming to HD-Receiver & MAD VR, as well!

 2. So how can I watch your not cropped x264 rip in the so-called 2.35:1 
    Anamorphic/Letterbox image, mate?

 For starters we have Film Aspect Ratio = Letterbox, CinemaScope, PanaVision etc. =
 2.35:1, 1.85:1, 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 Roll 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 we have the "black bars". "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.

 I know that a Blu-Ray player cannot playback anamorphic/letterbox material like
 the DVD player can, but the anamorphic/letterbox/Framing/Aspect Ratio scope 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 PC. Or you can grab one of
 Grym's uncropped x264 rips and use that for anamorphic/letterbox playback from PC.

 You can set DVD & also HD Box's to Display Aspect Ratio setting 4:3 and receive
 correct aspect ratio/framing (Not all HD Box's apply). All the 16:9 setting
 in a DVD, Blu-Ray or HD Box do  is to crop. That's it.    

 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. 
 
 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 (Where it Counts),
 because The Cinematic Aspect Ratios has nothing to do with Resolution! Aspect
 Ratio is a Framing tool for images in the cinema business. So it's impossible to
 get a correct 2.35:1 framed image on a correct set tv screen when the resolution
 is cropped to 1920x800, because now the image has been stretched/manipulated to a
 1.85:1 framing simply because part of the black areas are cropped of.

 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.

 Aspect ratios on 16:9 flat TV: Display Aspect Ratio setting on TV set to 1:1
 pixel mapping and resolution is 1080p. Resolution could also be 720p, 480p or
 576p, the Framing/Aspect Ratio would be the same:

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

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

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

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

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