Some content created by third-party encoders does not correctly set file attributes used to play video files and this can result in videos playing in odd aspect ratios. In addition, some higher resolution WMV v7 and v8 files may stutter and audio may not stay in sync with video. These issues will be addressed in the next release. To work around this issue you can re-encode your files to WMV9 with Windows Media Encoder available from www.microsoft.com.
