This is mainly because the video uploaded is in 16:9 widescreen ratio with black bars rendered into the video, the problem with this is that Youtube assumes the black bars are part of the video and doesn't stretch beyond the dimensions of the video with this tag, that only applies with the crop tag but not the stretch tag
