Default Fitting video to screen

Hey, i'm workin' on a short film with some of my friends. However, we wanted
a better shot and so we turned the camera sideways to get both actors on
screen better. Now when I bring it up in windows movie maker and rotate it
90degrees so the scene isn't sideways, it ends up squishing it. Is there a
way to get it to stretch to fit the screen and be the size of a regular clip?

Actually that didn't help. According to WMM my video has a width of 320, but
after rotation it isn't at 320, even though WMM says it is. Isn't there a way
to crop something on WMM without having to download virtualdub? I can't get
virtualdub to open anything.

No, Movie Maker cannot crop a video.

If VirtualDub won't open your video clips,
the format must be incompatible.

Maybe converting your video clips to the
..avi format would be worth a try.
