@Murray976

I'd say both 16:9 and 4:3 ratios are equally pleasing, but they do depend on the screen you will be using and the information you will be showing. 4:3 is the resolution of most laptops and computers, and 16:9 is the standard aspect ratio of Blu-ray discs and HDTV signals. You can watch 4:3 content on a 16:9 display, however, you will see black bars on the top and bottom or along the sides of your image.

One thing though, once you decide for one of them, converting it to a different ratio could be tricky. So it's better if you choose one and stick with it.
