Well if you load it in virtualdub and use the resizing filter to crop it then you can expand what is left to whatever size you want. Now if you want it to look OK you HAVE to crop the sides. Otherwise people appear skinny. Of course you lose the info at the edges of the screen. You are basically making a pan and scan except you don't have the ability to scan back and forth within the frame like the studios do so you could lose valuable parts of the picture (actually I saw a filter for VDub somewhere for panning within a frame, but geez the time involved for doing that would be astronomical)
