But still question remains, while cpying, why it did not retain its anamorphic enhancement and how come dts got added!
Two different transfers handled independently by two different companies - no copying or this speed shift nonsense involved.

On this account, R2 DVD should have had higher bit rate as that one is anamorphic. But it is other way around.

ali, btw! how can u explain, low bit rate of r2 transfer even with no dts sound track on the same disc..just wondering...
When you store more information, more of the space on the disk is used up, bit rate becomes lower as more is stored.
The non-anamorphic NTSC DVD of Monsoon Wedding (which inherently is at slightly lower resolution than PAL) is storing the letter box black bars which don’t require much space to store - the actual video information that’s being stored is less compared to PAL DVD.
NTSC MW DVD is at 720x480 pixel resolution but the actual video information being stored in reality (the way MPEG-2 compression works) is much lower – say half the screen is black bars so in actual the information being stored is roughly 360x480 – so because less information is being stored over the same dual layered disc the video gets higher a high bit rate.
PAL MW DVD is at 720x576 resolution and because it is anamorphic all this resolution is used up by the video. So more is being stored on a dual layered disc – so less bit rate available for the video.
The audio tracks (even DTS) in comparison to video don’t take much disc space. Put that all together and you’ll see why R1 DVD is not anamorphic. To include the DTS track and make it anamorphic maybe was pushing the DVD dual layer space bit too much – so one had to go.
