Default Re: "Converting" 4:3 to 16:9 (Aspect Ratios)

I think you'd have to do that, for one thing subtitles (where embedded in the source material, such as where someone momentarily speaks in a different language) are usually right at the bottom of the screen.

My main objection to 'zooming' is that you lose quite a few of the original 625 lines when you hack the top and bottom off, so what remains is in even poorer resolution than before. I'd rather have the whole vertical picture intact and in its original aspect, and have black bars at the sides.
