Why has the ratio on my video changed between programs?

I am using a Mac and have set my video 1440 x 1080 Codec set to H.264, this shows up on quicktime fine as well as any video sharing websites, youtube for example.

However when put onto a pc using windows media player the ratio has changed and stretches the videos height, do I need to save the video a different way to resolve this? How has my video changed size because of the program?

Is this a video that you're creating? What are you creating it with? – Alex McKenzie – 2014-04-24T15:33:42.793

A video may be stored in such a way that a pixel can be stretched, or that the display resolution is modified. Some players might not respect that. When you open your file in MediaInfo or a similar tool, what info do you get? – slhck – 2014-04-24T15:34:04.207

I've created it through premier pro from png files into a mov file – Elimyxlov – 2014-04-24T15:34:57.533

the properties state the correct ratio of the film that it was originally created, however when played it's stretched – Elimyxlov – 2014-04-24T15:35:46.240

might just be some installed codec misbehaving... use vlc instead or is this a problem? – Gotschi – 2014-04-24T15:38:40.847

But other videos are not stretched so the player seems fine – Elimyxlov – 2014-04-24T15:39:21.767

did you set the windows player to the same dimensions or did you let it auto size? – Malachi – 2014-04-24T15:51:04.823

I can't even find anywhere to set that for the player – Elimyxlov – 2014-04-24T15:57:23.843

what application are you using to create the video? – Malachi – 2014-04-24T16:12:55.930

I used premier pro to export it – Elimyxlov – 2014-04-24T16:13:44.530

with what settings? – Malachi – 2014-04-24T16:14:04.003

Dimentions: 1440 × 1080 – Elimyxlov – 2014-04-24T16:15:59.000

And the codec is set to H.264 – Elimyxlov – 2014-04-24T16:17:04.753

that is different than what you have in the question is it (1080 x 1920) or (1440 x 1080 )? is it pixels or points? please post all the settings in the question along with the name of the application. this comment string is getting rather long – Malachi – 2014-04-24T16:17:43.527
