Changing Display Size when saving a movie

[Lumberg]

I'm importing a AVI movie that is 980px x 720px in WMM2. When I try to save
this to a WMX or AVI, it is distorted and the quality has lessened. Any way
to fix this? Is there a plugin to increase display size when saving a movie?
Thanks.

Last but maybe not least.....

FWIW...in Movie Maker...you can go to...
Tools / Options / Advanced tab and choose...
4:3 (standard) or 16:9 (widescreen)
