I am trying to rip a DVD to x264 mkv and preserving original resolution.
I use DVD Decrypter, AutoMKV (and mkvmerge for adding soft subtitles).
The source vob is 720x576 (2.35:1) says MediaInfo. In AutoMKV I check Anamorphic Encoding.
The resulting .mkv becomes a 720x576 (16:9). But when played in mpc it gets more like 4:3 (with black bars on the sides) if I don't force 16:9.
What am I doing wrong?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

It sounds like you have an MPC or MKV splitter problem then. Try another player.

Most of the other videos you download probably don't use anamorphic encoding (ie, they use square pixel). VLC shouldn't look worse than MPC. Are you using MPC or MPCHC? Do you have the Video Frame -> Keep Aspect Ratio setting enabled? And is Video Frame -> Touch Window From Inside selected? Also try enabling or disabling MPCHC's internal MKV splitter, and decoders.
