Window Movies Maker compacting (slimming/thinning) movie when you save it problem.

[Miller]

I've done several short movies over the last few years using Windows Movie Maker. I've tried saving it to my computer a few different ways, but it always compacts,slims, thins the original movie after saving. For example it just makes animals or anything in the picture thinner than how it was recorded. I've played with it some and it doesn't happen just from using Windows Movie Maker it is when you save it or from downloading the movies to my computer. Everything looks fine until you go to save the movie. I've gone to "Other Save Settings" and tried different ones, but none seem to help.

Is this just the cost of using free software?
Is there another setting maybe I haven't tried?
Is there another brand of movie maker program that doesn't do this?

Thanks

Nevermind I figured it out. If someone ever has the same problem while in Movie Maker go to Tools-Options-Advanced-and you can change the Aspect Ratio to 16:9. Then save your movie.
