How to make it full screen

Ok im workin with subtitle footage.. ya its a fansub.. even the best have done it when the anime is not avalable in dve form and i dont have the hookups to get a raw of it. so i need a lil help with making footage fullscreen. i have played with the adobe premire pro settings for like 5 days now and all i have managed to do is screw up my settings.. thats about it.. i still have black bars on both top and bottom uppon export.. here is how i have been doin it so far..
lets say my source anime is 704x384 so i edit my adobe project settings to 704x384. in my small brain that says.. "hey it will be full screen now" but its not. i still have the inch bars on top and bottom. any help would be great thanks.

If your footage isn't at a 4:3 resolution, then of course it's not going to take up the whole screen when you export it. It's no different than it would be if you were working with a widescreen source. Assuming the source was originally 4:3 and you cropped it to get rid of the subs, this is not a problem.

Clearly you've failed 3rd grade geometry. o.O

a bad and no so smart move is crop the bars in Vdubmod.. your footage will be stretched to shit and look like ass... but it will be fullscreen.. *in vdub, go to filters, then resize to like 704X480, then click ok on the resize box with the Filters menu still open.. choose cropping on the right and crop out the top and bottom* as i said, it will probably look worse then a 1997 Real Media DBZ video... but... its your call.. im just giving you a tip on how to further ruin your media! (and maby your reputation)

See if you can find the irony in this post.

You can either resize to something like 640x480 and have a distorted aspect ratio or keep it as is. Personally, I'd take the latter.
