Body: <p>I have a camcorder that does 1024x576 videos imported from a camera on a MacBook, using iMovie. But, those videos are H.264 encoded (I think), and that's not convenient for sharing where most of my viewers use Windows.</p>

Comments.Text: Are you sure this isn't an issue with non-square pixels? Any player worth using will probably deal with it properly. Why are you re-encoding in the first place? Because the files are too big?

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2012-12-13)
  
  I have a camcorder that does 1024x576 videos imported from a camera on a MacBook, using iMovie. But, those videos are H.264 encoded (I think), and that's not convenient for sharing where most of my viewers use Windows.
  
  I tried to convert it of course, but every program (even Mac OS) *think* my video is 720x576-encoded, so when I convert them the aspect ratio is not conserved.
