That sounds like the best idea to me (committing to 16:9, that is; I've always preferred the look of it to 4:3). I did guess, from the look of the video, that you manipulated the non-16:9 footage to fill the frame properly, I'm just unsure of which programs you can accomplish that with.
At the moment, all I've got available to me is Windows Movie Maker, which I understand is very limited (and I doubt I could get around this issue with it). However, a friend of mine who works at a software retailer might be able to get me a copy of Adobre Premiere for much less than what it usually goes for. Do you consider it worth the pricetag, capability-wise (and which version do you use, if you don't mind my asking)?
