Ok.. I don't understand all the issues involved obviously as I didn't
quite understand your answer! Especially the Windows part.

What about cropping the image to 4:3 first? I'm trying to export some
shows for my parents who only have a 4:3 TV anyway. Cropped would be
better than stretched which is what I've given them so far.

.. with the odd exception of that one show which appeared to be
letterboxed instead.
