[Suggestion] Better handling of FMV in widescreen. #31

The FMVs in the original Retribution campaign are in 16:9 aspect ratio in an era where most players had 4:3 displays. As such, Descent 3 letterboxes them. Currently, Piccu adds pillarboxes to that, resulting in FMVs being confined to a small rectangle when they could be blown up to take up more (or all) of the screen.

Granted, there's probably a LOT of stuff to do for video playback, but I figured I'd put this down on paper for future reference. :)

Honestly I don't think this will be too hard, I can look into it for the next release.

Also please take ultrawide resolutions into considering as well! (i.e. 21:9/32:9 aspect ratio monitors)
