   Q & A:

1) How do I Bitstream TrueHD & DTS-HD Master audio From my PC to My surround
   Receiver?
   
   Part 1 - Setting up Sound / Bitstreaming in Windows (Only read and Use first
   Part about Windows):

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

   First, I'm not any special expert on this aspect ratio thing regarding
   technicalities about anamorphic lenses, on how a pro DP obtains the 2.35:1 
   aspect ratio or how a DP works with anamorphic or letterbox. If you want real 
   expertise on the matter then use your powerfull friend Google. What really
   matters here 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 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.

   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! For ever!

   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) 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) 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) 
   
   Display 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 something
   like the screen croppings on these pictures/images:

   You got image/screen cropping like on the pictures? 
   Now then please search 'Anamorphic Widescreen' in Youtube for more video
   reference.
   
   Ok, now try doing same playback procedure with a cropped so-called "2.35:1"
   1920x800 rip. 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.

   ---
   
   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 setting on tv set to 1:1 pixel mapping):

   1.33:1 - Black bars at sides of image (4:3) - Aka 1.37:1 Academy Standard

   1.78:1 - Full screen. Image fills whole of screen (16:9) - HDTV & Home Video

   1.85:1 - Black bars Top & Bottom of image (Small) - Movies, HDTV & Home Video

   2.35:1 - Black bars Top & Bottom of image (Big) - Aka 2.40:1 & Anamorphic Scope 
     

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