fullscreen to widescreen

I have a video file widescreen movie in a fullscreen resolution. how do I crop the movie without distorting the image, and the blackspace is gone.

Meaning you have a letterboxed widescreen movie (a widescreen movie letterboxed into a 4:3 picture) that you want to convert to a 16x9 encoded widescreen movie?

Check out this guide:

I haven't used that guide, so I can't say how well it works.

Remember though, if the aspect ratio of the image is greater than 1.78 : 1 then you will have to have some black bars in the encoded image to preserve the correct AR.
