I'm hoping I am not asking a stupid question: What happens to the image when playing back anamorphic widescreen video (4:3) on a 4:3 digital projector? A 16:9 projector with enough lines of resolution ...

So recently I've been ripping DVDs to my Zune in it's native 320x240 format. The problem is that ripping widescreen formats into 4:3 aspect ratio leaves those annoying black bars on top and bottom.

Reflecting the growing popularity of content shot in the 16:9 aspect ratio, YouTube expands the viewable width of all videos that appear on the site. Steven Musil is a senior news editor at CNET News.
