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:

Is the source sequence or file 16:9? or 4:3 with a letterboxed image?
Or something else? And what format?

Letterboxing is only used if you are trying to fit a 16:9 image in a
4:3 frame while preserving the full image (e.g., putting an anamorphic
DV source inside a standard 4:3 image).
