Yeah, how much % of aspect ratio can be wrong before it gets nuked (bad.ar)? How much % can be wrong before you start noticing?

tdx2k2 says width and height must be multiples of 16. So let's say I want to encode a 16:9 (1.78:1) movie with width=640. What would be the correct height? 360? No, can't be, because it's not multiple by 16! But what about 352 or 368?
16/9 =1.777
640/352=1.818. Difference from original=2.272%
640/368=1.739. Difference from original=2.173%
Select height=368? Or is the AR % diff too high? If yes, then 16:9 AR with width=640 is impossible?

Not sure if my method for calculating AR difference is correct, though:
Here's how I did it:

((1.818 * 100) / (16/9)) - 100 = 2.272
but if i do switch the AR's, result is different:
100 - (((16/9) * 100) / 1.818) = 2.222
Which of these is correct calculation?

I tried this site:

But it didn't respect the "multiple by 16" thing so....

you should stick to the 16pixel rule AT ANY COST.
Then you choose the ratio that has the smallest error within 2 or 3 % of the original AR.

But check out TDX2K2 theres a note on AR Smile
