Wrong aspect ratio

[bri2366]

Hi there!
I seemed to have develeped a problem when playing any type of mpeg file on windows media player and windvd platinum! for some reason whenever I try to play a dvd or mpeg file on my pc! the aspect ratio has screwed up! I'm getting a full screen picture with the horizontal and vetical sides cropped off! so I'm only seeing a part of the picture
I've checked my video and audio codecs which are using windvd!
looking at it! it seems like a windows problem! but dont know how to change the aspect ration or is there some setting which I can change!
any help would be much appreciated!
if you need any more info! please ask! I'm using windows xp by the way

I don't really have an answer as to why you are having this problem, but I have a solution: Switch to using Zoomplayer as your media player. It has endless aspect ratio and resize options.
