Best way to convert video

Hey guys, I've recently downloaded a ton of podcasts through itunes for my ipod, but hit a problem. The podcasts themselves are videos at a variety of resolutions. Mostly 668x376 with some at 640x360 and the rest 854x480. However, the touch's screen is 960x640. So when watching the video, I'm getting the sides cut off. And since the vids themselves are of day[9]'s starcraft daileys and commentaries, this means I'm missing half the minimap, which really sucks.

So, I'm guessing I need a way to scale the video somehow, I know I'll get some black bars along the top and bottom, but hopefully this wouldn't be too bad, I'd at least like to see how it looks. But how would I go about doing it? The videos are all .m4v videos, and I currently 104 of them, The fact that they are all different resolutions could be a problem, though I think I can separate them into the different resolutions if needed. But then would there be an easy way to convert the groups of videos somehow to add the bars at the top and bottom? Or is there another way to do this?

Thanks ^^
 
Thanks for the reply! However, I was messing around with he iPod earlier, and there was a button in the video player that zoomed it out anyway, which I missed earlier. Thanks though! :D
