    OAR stands for Original Aspect Ratio. OAR it's not a way of ripping the signal from HDTV. In this case it means that after the encoding, the original, native aspect ratio is kept. That's done using high quality, very compressable codecs like x264. That are capable of very high quality even at low bitrates. You're seeing a movie how it was originally intended, without any croping.
