For videos wider than 16:9, I'd generally be inclined to treat them as though
they belong in letterboxed 16:9 so we're producing something that fits standard
HD resolutions when blown up to full size.

That'd basically mean scaling anything _narrower_ than 16:9 up to the full
height (480, 720, 1080) and making them less wide, while scaling anything
_wider_ than 16:9 up to the HD width (854?, 1280, 1920) and giving it a smaller
height (eg 1280x544 for a 2.35 clip).

This probably mostly should work ok with our existing box scaling model where
we can say 'give me something that fits in 1280x720' and it fits the biggest
side available (of course with the exception that we don't have an
arbitrarily-open set of sizes. ;)


Should double-check how YouTube treats funny-sized HD videos...
