Thanks for your input! I'm also compressing the original MKV with Handbrake and keeping it on a Plex server (which exhibits the same problem). Should I disable cropping in the Handbrake settings (if Handbrake supports switching aspects at all) to set it into 16x9 for the whole movie? I'm unsure abou...

I recently ripped a copy of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire from the Complete 4-Film Collection. Most of the movie is in 2.35:1 aspect ratio, except for some scenes in the Games. My blu-ray player shows these scenes in full 16x9, but MakeMKV slices off the top and bottom to fit 2.35:1. Blu-Ray as it...
