Video upload conversion problem

So i went to upload some vids today and after waiting for the first one to finish and convert (btw a working progress bar would be awesome) i find that during conversion the aspect ration went from 1.333 to 1.0 square, which in turn makes the vid look all squished in from the sides if you know what i mean. I deleted the vid not thinking to leave it up for someone to check out. i render in wmv 1440x1080 with a 1.333 aspect ratio.
