If your video file is 1280x528, that means you will have black bars in order to keep the aspect ratio correct. If you want that to fill the screen, you have two choices: Stretch or crop. You can stretch it up, but that will make the movie unwatchable. You can also zoom and crop the sides, which will still look correct, but you will lose almost half of the movie on the left and right.

I have a movie thats 1280*528 or something. After i encode it, i play it on vlc media player aand the default resolution gives me the black bars on the top and bottom because im assuming it has a 2:39:1 resolution and not 16:9 which is the one i want. But then again, vlc media player has an aspect ratio option which allows me to change it to 16:9. If vlc can do this shouldnt handbrake have some way of configuring 16:9 aspect ratio on an 2:39:1 file?
