rendering help - maintaining original video settings

what are the best render settings to maintain the exact same dimensions when i'm done editing?

alot of times i'll be doing a video, and then after i render there will be letterboxes when i didn't want it or the image will be stretched. Do i change the project settings to match exactly the video? (ie 512/384 24 frames a second)(also, is it better to have the ratio to 1.00 or 0.9101?

I played around with the stretch to avoid letterboxing setting thing but it's
still sometimes hit and miss.

Also, any ideas for the best way to handle several video files with different
properties? I have at least 5 movie files i want to merge into one but when i
render i'm afraid it will mess up as i can only make one setting for the end
file?

I am rendering to divx if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.
 
Can you give specific examples? What sorts of clips are you using; what are your project settings; what are your render settings?
