Subject: Editing Anamorphic video question

People can push you around and make you eat dirt.
But they will eventually run out of dirt.
Right?

Worst place to ask but I don't feel like getting a different forum account

I have a Schneider 2x anamorphic lens. what it does is this:
Same lens on same camera I have.

My question is, in post do I compress the video vertically or stretch it horizontally? I am not sure because I want to preserve the maximum amount of pixels and reduce any sort of distortion I can. The fellow posted in the descrip he reduced the vertical size to 55%, but that seem counter intuitive since Anamorphic lenses are supposed to surpass cropping, which if you compress the video it removes just as many pixels (in effect).

I am wondering if I stretch my footage, will it cause any problems?
