rendering problems

Okay, so all I have to say is--I have a million problems rendering my video. I spent the better part of a day trying to render a video I edited and made earlier and it just wouldn't work out. Either the sound was skipping or there were instances where the screen went black for a while (no, that was not in my original editing) or something else bad. I have a few questions: How can I tell what were the original settings for how my video was taken? I use a FRAPS to capture a game I'm playing, FALLOUT NEW VEGAS, but have no clue what the actual settings I am needing to use for the rendering. In addition, I'm confused about what settings to put in the video editing program for properties. There is media properties and also another "properties" section within the program and I have no clue what to do with either. Anyone having this problem? I made a video before that looked very nice, but now everytime I try a video it has major graphic problems or sound problems. FINALLY, I see some people's video that fills up the full screen on youtube--I want that too, but whenever I make a video it has this black border around it I don't like. How do I get my video to fill the whole screen without that black garbage?

1) Click the project properties, you'll see a little open-style icon to the right of the template listing. "Open" your file and the project properties will match the video file.

To double check the file after it's been imported, right click on the file, go down to properties and the different tabs will give different information on the file.

In general, you want your video file, the project and the rendered file all to be the same PAR, dimensions, interlacing, etc.

If you could post the resulting video and the project file someone might be able to help you figure out where things are going wrong.
