 * Zune Digital Media Player

SYMPTOMS
When you play a video on the Zune device, the video may not play with the correct aspect ratio. The video may appear &quot;squished.&quot; That is, the video may appear compressed from both sides.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you use a Video Vault file that has a nonsquare aspect ratio. The format for such Video Vault files stores the aspect-ratio data on a frame basis instead of in the sequence header of the file.



THINGS TO TRY

 * 1) Play a video that is stored in a format that differs from the Video Vault format.
