This video shows how to convert from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio using VirtualDub
http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net

IMPORTANT: Only works with avi input, so if you want to use a video that is not in avi format you can convert it to avi with WinFF http://winff.org/html_new/downloads.html and then you can use this method

Download XVID (for compressing the video)

  • I did this and the result was great. The only problem is the end video was 2GB big. I'm a computer noob but I know that 2GB is TOO big for a 3 minute video. What did I do wrong?

  • @prandabear

    As I mention on the video description, you've to compress the video with xvid codec or another one you like.
