Answer 1

Depends on the ratio of video, but I think you can use something like this:

videoDisplay.scaleMode = ScaleMode.STRETCH;

or

videoDisplay.scaleMode = ScaleMode.LETTERBOX;

Update :

So in this case I think setting maintainAspectRatio as false within your <mx:videoDisplay /> will help you, Although the main purpose of that is maintaining the original aspect ratio while resizing the video.
