Rendering proper frame size for web
Hi guys, I shot a standard definition video on my DV camera in 16:9 and am trying to get it to fill the frame on Funny or Die and youtube, but so far the video I’ve been trying to upload hasn’t filled the frame that these websites provide. Here’s an older video that I had the same problem with:

The aspect ratio is fine, as is the resolution. It’s just the “physical” size of the video that doesn’t fill the frame. I’ve been trying so many settings and watching online tutorials and I haven’t figured out how to do it. At best, when I turned a five minute video into a 978 MB file, it got bigger, but it still wasn’t sufficient.
Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

One way to ensure that the aspect is correct is to render using square pixels. If your video is shot in DV Widescreen then the pixel aspect ratio is 1.2121. Take that and multiply by the video width of 720 and you get 720 * 1.2121 = 872.712. If we round that up to 873 then you should render your video at 873×480 PAR 1.000.
The interesting thing is that Vegas uses the more accurate 1.2121 as the PAR for DV Widescreen but Adobe applications just use 1.2 or 1.21. If you multiply 1.2 by 720 you only get 864×480 and 1.21 is 871×480. So there are varying degrees of “wideness” depending on how your NLE interprets the pixel aspect ratio.
