When I try to crop a 4:3 movie to 16:9 by using FairUse, I click on 16:9 button and it gives me the selection in the first picture below. But when I capture the window and recrop it with 16:9 ratio Photoshop (the second picture), it gives me a whole different selection!?
Picture 1
Picture 2
Which selection is the real 16:9 and how could it be different?

Never mind. Not sure about what the first pic is showing.

Sorry, my bad English!
Here is what I meant...
When I try to crop a "picture" with 16:9 ratio in FairUse and Photoshop, they give me two different looks, and below are the pictures...
16:9 in FairUse
16:9 in Photoshop
The Original One (4:3)

If you want to crop from 4:3 to 16:9, just remove exactly 1/4 of vertical size measured in pixels and leave horizontal pixel numbers as they are. This doesn't depend on pixel type: you'll further resize the result of cropping to standard numbers depending on the type of encoding (with its 'square' or 'non-square' pixels).

I'm sorry, I have no idea what that is, I just turn on Photoshop and use the crop feature as usual. So could you show me which pic above is in 16:9?Originally Posted by guns1inger
I just want to know how should a 16:9 video look like, so that I could crop the selection better. Thank you very much.
To Alex_ander: "just remove exactly 1/4 of vertical size measured"
How do I do that and still center the selection in FairUse? And are the numbers in FairUse in pixel measure? Thank you very much for your suggestion! -
Easier thing to do is set your hdtv so it fills the screen so you lose 1/4 height of your picture.

FairUse is assuming standard 4:3 DVD PAR. Photoshop is assuming square pixels.
Assuming your fair use sample is correct 433/267 is an AR of about 1.62:1. Adjust that for 4:3 DVD PAR of 1.1:1 and you get 1.62 * 1.1 ~= 1.78 ~= 16:9.
