First, Houdini cannot handle Quicktime movies (.mov). You may need to purchase Quicktime Pro from Apple. It will allow you to save the .mov file to various other formats.

What is the resolution of your source file? What resolution do you want it to be? When you export you can customize the size and I believe there is something there for aspect ratio (maybe letterbox it?).

If you really wanted to use Houdini, use QT Pro to save an image sequence thru it's export options (you can save to jpeg, tga, bmp). Then load this sequence in COPs and do your own cropping.

Good luck.
