Regarding the border, if you would, please just crop it to the top/bottom and sides of the frame leaving the curved edge on the corners alone.

I'll consider that. It depends how "noisy" it is in those corners. Sometimes they can be distracting if there's a lot of junk in them, or if the soft borders clash too noticeably with the sharp borders of the rest of the image.

Here is what it would look like with one of the sample frames at 1280x720p:

In my opinion it looks good enough already, but if you wanted to you could try adjusting the color of the black bars to roughly match the color of the corners and it wouldn't be as noticeable. In my case I have a projector and have black masking for my screen so the white part of the screen is effectively 2.35:1. I wouldn't notice the difference with the black bars and corners at all.

Here is a sample with the black bars matching the color of the right side corners:

The left side is more noticeable to me because they don't match the bars. Maybe just making the black bars black would be the best route and the corners would just be part of the horizontal picture.
