Changing dimensions of video clips?

[WhyKnott]

Here's a question for the experts. Sometimes I come across a video that is distorted - the dimensions are off (width versus height). Is there any utility that will allow one to correct this? Similarly, what about videos that are sideways? (I get tired holding my monitor at 90 degrees ).

Are you looking to save the videos with the new aspect ratio? Or do you just want a media player that you can adjust the aspect ratio settings while you play the files?

Thanks,

virtualdub will do all you need, and its free. There has just been an updated version which is better than before. You can resize using the filter option. If you need help using it, just ask.

Thanks for the advice. I am hoping to be able to save the videos with corrected sizing. Can't stand the ones that looked squished.
