Why does my movie stretch vertically when burnt?

[BL]

Hi,

I am using Nero to burn a movie which is in two 55 min parts. When I try to add the file to the cd, first Nero says it is not in correct format. It gives me two options: encode file in correct format/leave file alone. I selected the first and it burnt but the movie was stretched and the quality was terrible. I choose the latter and it burnt with OK quality but was still stretched. The movie is 600by300 (approx.) therefore it should have those black lines at top and bottom. My question is how do i add those to the file so the movie is not stretched? It is in mpeg format.

If anyone needs more info to help, please ask. I hope I can get this problem fixed! I'm new to this.

Thanks in advance.

Which encoder did you use?
What a source file is it?
What are the specs of the source file?
It itsn't a Nero problem, but you set an aspect ratio wrong. Well, Nero reports a non-correct format. 600x300 is an odd resolution even if the aspect ratio is set right.
By the way, this is not a authoring topic, if you expect as much as possible replies, post in the right forum, that would be "conversion" or "newbie"
