A standard definition screen is 4/3 as wide as it is tall. Widescreen is 16/9 as wide as tall. So to show a widescreen video on a standard screen, each bar should be 1/8 of the height of the screen, and the picture 3/4 of the height of the screen.
Are those the figures you're after?

DPR: Hmmm... well, random screen size. HEF: I think your answer covered it all.  Or well, most of it anyways.  |
