Whats my options on 4:3 to 16:9
What is my options on a video filmed in 4:3 to get to 16:9 exept adding borders on the sides or crop it in the middle?
Is there a good "tracking plugin" that might crop it right for avisynth script (face or what they do) or possible to make points on all scenes where it should be croped or do I need a more advance program to do this?

If you really must you can always try WarpedResize that is part of the SimpleResize filter: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/SimpleResize

I think I have to give Sony Vegas a try. I think I have to give another editor a try.
Or crop manually every scene and then merge them after export. Maybe easier than doing this in another program?

I want to do a little update. I did edit the movie in virtualdub, exporting it in 5 files cause most parts are kind of good just croping it to the middle part but some needed to be cropped so the top parts is more visible to not cut of heads.
Stupid question again, what is it called when you leave the "middle part" as it is but only stretch the corners? (Like widescreen tv's had as option when watching 4:3 videos in widescreen, it looked horrible when someones head or shoulder is stretched out, but I always wanted to know what it is called)

[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.

I did try warpedesize but I get wierd color distortion, well color bleeding or what it is called, a bug?
How do I best do 900x720 to 1280x720, don't get the hWarp and vWarp to look "normal", it looks like the filter fisheye when I move it up. I do think "WarpedResize(1280, 720, 0.5, 1)" looks a bit okey, it has a little black bars on the sides that need to be cut.

There is a bug with YV12 sources I see from the Avisynth wiki page. Maybe this can help you?

That is for me to judge. :P Joke aside, I know and I do this a lot of the times, but I'm going to watch a full series off movies and it feels like sticking a needle in the eyes when watching a 4:3 movie because it has not been released in 16:9 when the rest of the serie has been.

That's extremely subjective. I find non-linear warping to be much more distracting/annoying than a linear warp, though both are inferior to cropping, which is in turn inferior to pillarboxing/letterboxing.
