Personally, the reason I would go with is the cinematic effect that
letter-box has. Knowing KaTe to be a film freaK of sorts, I would
expect her to do most of her videos this way, since it fits her view
on these things (I think).

In any event, I much prefer letter-box myself, but have never used it
being only a video person myself...
