You tube has changed their video display to 16:9 wide screen. In this video I'll show you how to convert the usual 4:3 to 16:9 wide screen format.

Hello, thanks for all this info but I have a little problem... unfortunately, I can't upload any videos (.avi) to VirtualDub. :S

It always says things like "Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unknown); VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW)..."

Can you help me out with this?

I'm not sure , I' never came across that sort of error message, sorry

i need to know what the pixel deminsions are like 800x600 type of thing cuz im making an intro in blender for my videos

[hotmonkey000]

It depends on the dimensions of your original video. when I record with camstudio I set a fixed region to 460 x 350.

when convert the video in virtualdub I set the format to 16:9 , than the absolute (pixels) are 460 x 258.75

I hope that this was what you were thinking of

Hey I keep getting error code 2 any help?

[vipero00]

Now all your squares look like rectangles and people have fat heads. Shouldn't you crop if you really want no distortion?

Still have the empty space

Please watch, I upload using Windows Live Movie Maker

Nice tutorial. Though me and my friend discussed this i have a 19 inch monitor and its not widescreen. max resolution only 1280 x 720 with aspect ratio 4:3. we both came to a agreement when i make my tutorials or gameplay widescreen it dosnt just lower the quality of it my gameplay wont even play. Though you did mention it will lower the quality, it will loose alot of quality get blurry and c blocks. when you try to blow up something to not it aspect ratio your video will come out poor

@vipero00 doesnt work if you only have the bars at top and bottom

Why would someone want to stretch their 4:3 video to 16:9?

ok im 5 seconds into this video and you pronounced lamborghini wrong :(

[JHaul]

Isn't this simply stretching the video to fit the screen? I mean, if that's all someone cares about they'll be fine with this, but I'm pretty sure the dimensions of your video will end up warped this way, no?
