  <p>However when I import and drag a new (and definitively confirmed 1080p) video to the timeline the preview shows a small black border on the left and right sides. I even removed the "Tile Safe Area" and "Action Safe Area" and the left/right black borders still appear.</p>
  
  <p>The only thing I've noticed is that on the <em>project</em> panel is that the video info column shows the video at "0.75" [unknown units]. I am absolutely certain that the video is 1080p (1920x1080).</p>
  
  <p>How do I fix this to get an <em>exact</em> one-to-one ratio for 1920x1080? The input videos are recorded via Open Broadcast Studio and the settings <em>seem</em> to be good. I've been trying to test things out to figure out what Premiere CS3 <em>does</em> support (very <em>very</em> little) to increase compatibility.</p>

Comments.Text: It seems that your 30p video has been recorded with PAR=0.75, which makes it 1440x1080, not 1920x1080. Still, this should not preclude it to properly render to 16:9 DAR. I have no idea what Premiere does not like. Also, just wondering, where did you get 30.00 fps video? From a smartphone?

Comments.Text: @RustyCore "The input videos are recorded via Open Broadcast Studio" - the videos measure at 1920x1080 when played in Media Player Classic *without* the black border; how would I make sure OBS shoots it in true 1920x1080 then?

Comments.Text: First you need to verify the params of your video using something like MediaInfo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaInfo It may as well be 1920x1200 if this is native resolution for your monitor, then when resized to 1080 lines, you will get pillarboxing.
