Photos do not fill frame

I am trying to make a video for work using photos of jobs we have done. I
know how to add the photos, and do the transitions and all the other cool
stuff, but the one thing I can NOT figure out is how to get the photo to fill
the whole frame so that I am not left with black bands on the sides or
top/bottom. I have a couple of photos that actually fill the frame, so I
tried resizing the rest of the photos to the same size thinking that would
help, but nope!! Can anyone tell me HOW to get the picture to fill the
frame? I can NOT have this black background showing, as the video is going to
be used on a grey background and will look awful.

Thanks for any help you can give me!!

=======================================
Just a guess...but maybe the problem
is compounded because some of the
images are in Portrait orientation?

This would mean that no matter how
you *resize* the images...they are still in
Portrait orientation and you will have
black bands on both sides.

The solution would be to *crop* the
Portrait images so they become
Landscape orientation.

If you need a good crop tool...the following
freebie has one..and as Graham suggests...
there is an option to choose 4:3 aspect
ratio:
