If it would be that easy I would have get it!!! I first read the man page.

I tried -aspect 16:9 with and without -monitoraspect 4:3 but it didn't
change anything, the faces still look very long.

I also tried -aspect 4:3, same effect.

For normal viewing I can adjust the size of the window by hand, but going
fullscreen again messes up the correct sizing. Of course it is the same
with mencode.

Best wishes
