I can replicate this using the movie linked below on 10.4.3 and QuickTime 7.0.3.

What seems to be happening is that the movie refuses to scale horizontally and only scales vertically when adjusting dimensions numerically in the Movie Properties window.

Neither percentage nor pixel scaling works and the behavior is the same whether or not 'Preserve Aspect Ratio' is checked.

Workaround: Drag the lower corner of the movie window and you can resize the movie and it will retain aspect ratio. Option-Drag resizes proportionally to 1/4 size increments also retaining aspect ratio.

I see this occasionally, and since this Apple movie does it, I
thought I'd point it out:

When I download the movie from here:

http://images.apple.com/movies/us/apple/ipod_20051012/
apple_ipod-20051012_h640.mov

Open in Quicktime player (7.0.4 on OS X 10.4.6)
open window -> show movie properties
select Video Track, and put in 320 x 240 for the size,
it comes out all stretched horizontally

What's up with that?

If I save it like that, it opens in the player apparently at 640x240
However, if I open it via file: in Safari, it is shown at 320x240
with a controller that is 640 pixels below it.

Seems like there is something funny going on there,
