Hello. I downloaded an 8.5 gig mkv with an aspect ratio that is just a tad bit skewed. Its an 16:9 but the image looks too squashed that way and looks much better at 4:3. So im wondering what app i should use for making minor changes like this? When i searched the forum it pointed me to a guide that was last updated in 2005 so i thought i should better ask instead. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Thank you much Baldrick! I already have those apps but i didnt know you could do that with them.

mpeg4modifier. But not all players will read the aspect ratio in avi files.

Sorry to keep bumping but is there something that works on WMV's too? There are just so many movies on the net with a bad ratio! Thanks so much.

Hi Vato,
Baldrick and couple of other folks here are the experts ... but if you have a WMV file ... my guess would be it is best to convert it 1st to an AVI ... then you can deal with it with the Tools are available here ...
One tool that Bladrick suggested to me and just recently used is "AVI Recomp 1.5.0" ... it walks you thru total reconverting of the file ... but it is timely ... which I have no Patience for that ...
Hope this was of some help ...

There's another possibility: if you can find a program that will remux from the WMV container to an MKV container you can use the MKV header to specify a display aspect ratio. -
the correct answer is:
Code:mkvpropedit /video.mkv --edit track:1 --set display-height=x
