Topic: Video file conversion problem

[JK]

This will need a major expert to help. Anyway here goes.
I have some video files shot with a digital camera. The person taking the video rotated the camera by 90 degrees. The AVI files taken where corrected by Virtual Dub. Rotated 90 degrees to correct the camera mistake. They play fine in all the media players. The files are very long in lenght and I wished to reduce them with conversion into other formats WMV, MOV, etc.
The convereted video files show the aspect ratio corrupted with the images appearing short and fat. If there any video conversion software out there that would covert the files and retain the aspect ratio.

Most of the converters that I have used give the option of maintaining the same aspect ratio or selecting your own.
Which programs have you used or do you mean that Vdub changed the aspect ratio when you corrected the orientation

TMPGEnc will be your best bet, any version above number 3. Now that can only convert to MPEG but it will sort out your resolution and GOP structure ect. Then from there convert that mpeg into the format you want.
