Alejandro,

but did you read what Yotam wrote (the part you quoted right before your text) ? He asked what the point is in having the 5/4, 5/3, 16/9 etc. modes. And quite frankly, I am wondering about that, too. It seems those modes are not necessary at all. 

Please explain why you / your mentors think that those specific fixed rates are necessary, now that you can scale to arbitrary resolutions. 


Bye,
