I'd guess it's not really finished yet, it ketp segfaulting on me. it did 
specifcally say that the size must be LESS than the original. can this not 
be changed so as to automatically add widescreen bands? If i want to 
convert it to vcd or such it'd need to be a certain aspect, so i'd want to 
add bands to make it 4:3 or whatever.
