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.

info in the following articles may offer some ideas:
