Why is it that the only way I can get an excerpt from this 596x248 video file in the correct aspect ratio is to ask for it in 640x480 (at which point it has to add ginormous letterbox black bars)? Infuriating!!

If anyone out there knows something I don't, please illuminate me before I pull the last of my hair out!
