Super
Try "Any video Converter". It works great and its free
Just had a look at it, and it all went straight over my head.
Could you not find the download page? lol
On any dvd converter on the right hand side you can change all the options and what the resolution of the output will be. Ive never had an issue with widescreen formats so im not sure what the deal is.
My settings are:
WMV V9
1280X720
bitrate= 4000
and the videos look great, obviously some quality loss, but not much.
To keep the aspect ratio of widescreen videos correct in "Any Video Converter" select Edit>Options>Video>under Video Resize check the box next to "Fit to width" and "Any Video Converter" will retain the aspect ratio of your videos.
