When you encode normal video (4:3 aspect ration) to widescreen (16:9) video, or in reverse widescreen to normal video, video is stretch out and in result output distorted or bad in view and quality.
In order to avoid video stretching out and keep aspect ratio of video persistent, you can use technique called pillars. This is the "pure" method as it does not distort or lose any part of the original video or image. In this technique you will calculate space and add padding accordingly on proper direction to keep the aspect ratio of video consistent.
Logic to calculate padding size and direction.

1: Widescreen (16:9) to Normal (4:3) video conversion:

Example:
i: Calculate width and height of source video (16:9): e.g 800x450 = 1.7777.
ii: Width and height of normal video that you want to publish e.g 320x240 = 1.333.
