Specifiy Pillarboxing/Letterboxing for Video Snaps in BigBox Themes?

I was working with video snaps for my Windows PC games and noticed that certain BigBox themes, "like WoodPanels" use a 16:9 monitor view for video snaps for games while other consoles like PS1, N64, SNES, etc use the 4:3 CRT style TVs in the views to display the video snap. This is fine, but I noticed that when I record Windows game snaps for games that only run in 4:3 resolutions, they will be stretched across the displaying area. I've attached a snap-shot of POD Gold in the video snap view for WoodPanels for Windows Games. 

Would it be possible to specify the theme to adjust pillar/letterboxing for the video snaps based on the aspect ratio of the video file? Or would my best bet be to re-record video snaps with pillar/letterboxing in the video so that it displays properly in BigBox? Just asking because I have many games for Windows such as Populus 3, POD Gold, Classic PC NFS games, etc that only run in 4:3 aspect ratios so I have to letterbox these no matter what.
