APOCALYPSE AND THE BEAUTY QUEEN is supposedly loosely based upon the 16th Century ruler, Elizabeth Bathory-The Blood Countess.
The movie is set in a not-too distant future where governments and other ruling bodies have collapsed and people have been left to fend and survive for themselves in a world that has regressed to a Dark Ages mentality. Amber (Beverly Hynds) was a former New York model who returned to her hometown after the collapse and led and organized the citizens in the area back towards civilization. However, she becomes seduced by vanity and power. Meanwhile a new revolution seems ready to break out while a cold blooded killer is kidnapping beautiful young women, killing them, and bathing in their blood.

*moved*

I'm afraid this has bad AR, it should be 16:9 not 4:3 :(

You should really look at gknot, these are the kind of basic mistakes that can't be made with that applicaiton. Your ripping program is really letting you down on the quality front :(

its not 4:3 clearly... just look at the pictures and ask if you've ever seen anyone that looks like that and if so, were you travelling through a status leak on floor 16 at the time? ;) Its actually anamorphic 16:9 which is 16:9 content encoded at 4:3 for better compression, when ripping you need to return it to its original AR, it should look more like this:

not like this:

when you do the first step in gknot (proper GKnot, not autogknot... autogknot is known to mess this up), it tells you its anamorphic in dgindex; then when you go through to the next stage of loading your d2v file in a preview window pops up. You need to check anamorphic if it clearly looks wrong, and if it tells you its anamorphic in teh previous step.

Doing a quick check on rips to make sure these mistakes aren't make. I always watch, and skip through my rips to make sure its okay... in fact, i always rip several times with different matrices, resolutions and filters to ensure i'm getting the best rip i can before releasing but that's a bit more advanced.

Anyway, its not 4:3 ;)

It clearly ain't if you look at the samples. Prolly you just had your player set to pan & scan by default and not letterbox :? That's just about the only thing that comes to my mind at the moment that would make perfect sense. You put it on and watch it pan & scan (4:3) when the original content is indeed 16:9... then you put DVD to your comp and set it to 4:3 in gknot (believing it's valid size) and it rips it all messed up. Not all that of a big prob mind you, just set it to 16:9 when playing back... quality looks quite good though (only a tiny black border on the right edge due to improper crop) ;)

Sorry mates. My mistake. Looks like it was 16:9. Why would gknot set it to 4:3 in the resolution section?

@MyK, lol... yeah, that will teach me to paste my posts into m$ word :lol:

It wouldn't set anything you would have to do it. Autogknot would because it just guesses and if the headers on the dvd aren't set properally, that would explain it.
