640x360 IS 16:9. It doesn't need to be letterboxed. It will be a widescreen frame. The additional pillarbox in this file is probably there because fitting a 16:9 frame inside a LETTERBOX inside another 16:9 frame makes it smaller on all sides. But to know EXACTLY what happened we need to know:

ok... I used the Sanyo Xacti HD1A. The source video was 1280X720, 30 fps mp4 video. I edited in FCE, then chose export using quicktime compression, and did this: - under format, chose mpeg-4 and clicked options - chose mp4 under file format - chose h.264 under video format - did the 640x480 image

That would have given you a letterboxed image in a 640 x 480 frame - but I just opened the clip in quicktime and it's 640 x 360, not 640 x 480. Personally, I would export it as 640 x 360 - just as you did - but don't turn letterboxing on. That should give you a widescreen box filled with a

I have a verizon phone that is V Cast enabled but I NEVER use it. I don't know anyone with Verizon that does use it. Why I don't use it: I have no idea what it costs me to use, and I'm not willing to find out. No idea what content is there, so I am not going to waste my time 'browsing.'

Yeah, they seem to advertise it as Television, but on your phone, but even people who watch television have CABLE, which means they have tons of choices. I suppose they're relying on exclusive content to make people want to up the subscription fee. Dunno. Bill Cammack http://billcammack.com

I did another test (haven't published it anywhere). This time, I did everything I mentioned below, but did NOT check the letterbox box. After exporting, the mp4 video is stretched, and has the black letterbox lines top and bottom. Is 640x360 not a standard size or something? David King

If I were you, I'd export using the Export to iPod setting and see what you get. It's very good at understanding what is needed, letterboxing or not. Chances are, it'll do it right - but if not, if your video still comes out looking wrong, then it may well be that you've got the Distort
