Anamorphic format

[edit]I developed techniques in my NLE, Vegas, to do non-linear stretching, so that most of the stretching happens at the edges. Unlike anamorphic stretching for movies (in the above link), where the stretching is "un-done" during projection, the stretching I did in Vegas to go from 4:3 to 16:9 leaves the image stretched at the edges.

Having done that work, IMHO it is much, much better to simply add the pillars on the sides when going from 4:3 to 16:9. Every other "trick" makes the video look really bad and is distracting.
