Best guess: the video may be MPEG2, which frequently appears 'squished' when viewing in raw form. Many media players will detect this, and automatically expand (stretch) the video as it is played. So your player hides the original narrow version from you -- but the cap will be of the original image. To see the caps correctly, you have to replicate the same process as the media player: go into Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc., and re-size the cap, doubling its width (while leaving height alone).
