You are probably right about the stretching. WMM has a default "aspect ratio" of 4:3. You need to change it to 16:9 which are the vid dimensions most clips come in (the HDTV widescreen).
Click on "tools", then select "options", then select "advanced" and then it gives you option of which aspect ratio you want 4:3 or 16:9.
You want 16:9 for most of the clips that are downloaded, but you have to watch out because there *are* some clips out there in 4:3 and if you get a mix of the two different aspect ratios, it can look weird. (mind you "weird" can work - I used both aspect ratios in "I Can't Wait" because I only had the promo clips in 4:3).
