Fitting video to screen

Actually that didn't help. According to WMM my video has a width of 320, but
after rotation it isn't at 320, even though WMM says it is. Isn't there a way
to crop something on WMM without having to download virtualdub? I can't get
virtualdub to open anything.

============================
No, Movie Maker cannot crop a video.

If VirtualDub won't open your video clips,
the format must be incompatible.

Maybe converting your video clips to the
..avi format would be worth a try.
