Could you consider increasing the height a bit from 498 to 540?

I don't agree with this at all. If the celluloid was stored properly and the transfer to digital was done by a company like Criterion the image can be crystal clear. (In fact celluloid is far superior to digital in detail)

Age of the movie has nothing with it, it's the source material, often a copy of a copy of a copy... Also DVDs from 4:3 tv shows can be excellent quality. The pics I added from Seinfeld yesterday were 704 x 528. I had to shrink these to fit 498. Also the truck in Duel. Would have been perfect for 720.
