If WMP6.4 lets you do:
Tools > Options > Performance > Advanced >
uncheck"UseVideoMixingRenderer"
then that may help. Or some other disabling of hardware acceleration
might work.
Otherwise you could hex edit the mpeg file (easier than it sounds).
For more info, take a look at another post just made to this group
(25May03) entitled something like MPEG Aspect Ratio Problems Explained
and Fixed. It contains more details and some possibly permanent
solutions which may work no matter what video player is being used.
