Windows Windows Media Player 9 Video Problem

hey, i noticed yesterday that my videos that i converted from Divx to Mpeg2 have slimmed in size of the picture. It used to play fine, but now the video is distorted, the picture is really slim compared to the normal size. Its prolly only half the width it should be. i rebooted twice, and the same problem occurs. Anyone else have this problem?? anyone know how to fix it?? i tried searching for it on google, but couldnt find anything about it. thanks

 

WMP9 is a pain in the ass - it screws around with all the ID3 tags in MP3s, and messes up a load of other stuff.

how to fix it? don't ever install the bugger.

sorry that i can't be more helpful (or in fact, at all helpful!)

 

right click on the video when its loaded.. theres some 'auto size' switched there... fiddle with them. i think theres a 'lock aspect ratio' somewhere in the options too.
