Is this possible while still keeping the integrity of the video file?

just look for title and add "uncensored"

I mean on the top/bottom or sides.

Yes, you can easily crop a video with many video editing softwares. It shouldn’t take away from the quality.

No it just removes part of the picture...Which in turn directly effects the quality...


@op, you can stretch it but then you will skew the image. This will remove your top bottom/side bars.
If you crop it you will cut out part of the image. These are unavoidable due to aspect ratio's between source and medium.

I was afraid of that. So does the aspect ratio of the source material determine the final product? It seems some don’t have them but many do.

Correct, Unless source was edit during production.
For example movies are filmed generally wider then any tv can display hence the bottom and top bars.
Old movies were basically a square so on new tv's they generate side bars.

Most tv's today have a stretch/fit/fill feature in the options. Though generally people use it for older media and are content with wide screen view.

Buy a 21:9, 16:9 and 4:3 monitor and use decent software for movie playback?
