WMV files do not. Your MPEG file is probably meant to play back at the 4:3 ratio of most TV sets and computer monitors. When the video is converted into a 720x480 WMV, it plays back at a different ratio and looks stretched, as you say.<br /><br />To fix this, convert the files using the "WMV - for desktop viewing" setting, and click the Properties button. On the Properties tab, select "DVD Quality Video (2 MBPS CBR)". For the "Encoded BitRate" select "2000 kbps 640x480". Converting to a 640x480 image will produce a WMV file that plays back without stretching, and the very high quality setting should eliminate any choppiness.</td></tr></table>2007-07-09T13:02:20-04:002007-07-09T13:02:20-04:00DeskShare - Support<table class="content postContainer_Alt" width="100%"><tr><td>MPEG 2 files include a setting telling the player what aspect ratio to use -- that is, the shape of the image during playback.

But I don't want to lose the quality of the image.<br /><br />I'm trying to use the WMV for Desktop Playback as recommended in this forum.<br /><br />When I do that, the output is slightly choppy and the image seems stretched vertically. Almost as if it converted it to 640 x 480.<br /><br />Is there a way to keep that same aspect ratio and also trim down the choppiness?</td></tr></table>2007-07-06T04:40:19-04:002007-07-06T04:40:19-04:00nkcaump<table class="content postContainer" width="100%"><tr><td>Hello, love the program!<br /><br />I am wanting to convert videos that are in MPEG-2 format, 720 x 480, 29 fps and put them in WMV format.<br /><br />My goal is to make the file smaller and to utilize the metadata features of WMV files (can add comments, etc. for better playback in Windows Media Player.)
