Windows Media Player Settings

• When you are playing back your video in Windows Media Player, right-click your video. Scroll over "Video," then click "Fit Player to Video." This will ensure that your video fits your computer monitor.
  
  

Camera Aspect Ratio

• Many new flip cameras shoot video at a 16:9 aspect ratio, which works well for widescreen televisions and computer monitors. To change this for standard televisions and computer monitors, power up your camera. On your camera's menu, look for "Aspect Ratio" and change the ratio to 4:3. This will ensure any videos you take will be in standard format.
  
  

Video Editing Software

• On some video editing software, you will have the option to change the aspect ratio of videos you have already taken. Consult your video editing software's manual to find out how to change your video's aspect ratio.
