Default Resizing a video clip

How can one resize mpeg video clips - are there any free or low-cost
re-encoders available for a Windows XP Pro SP3 machine?
Some DV videos were encoded on another machine with the wrong size
configuration and all the output looks vertically elongated. Unfortunately,
the original DV files were deleted in haste.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Regards.

I don't seem clear to myself!
What we really want to do is stretch a 4x3 mpeg clip to 16x9.

I know you didn't mention rotating but the resizing
info in the following articles may offer some ideas:

VirtualDub will do this AFTER you learn
how to use it...

you may need to convert to an intermediate format
to resample to the dimensions that you want.

Thanks for the very informative responses - I am following the links and
learning about what is involved.
VirtualDub seems promising.
Regards and thanks again.
