Re: How to change default aspect ratio of a video?

u can use another player other than windows default video player~ many of the alternative players hav the options of changing the aspect ratio manually.

Ulead Video Studio 11 or Power Director 6 will let you edit video using 16:9 or 4:3.

This one also works with videos, but I've never tried it:

Nevermind, I just saw this listed as a Con for Media Resizer: "Doesn’t resize videos, only takes an image from it "
