Dicom Media Bridge fits the Dicom images into a rectangle with the width/height ratio of 4/3, so they will not be stretched by applications that can deal only with video samples (e.g.: Windows Movie Maker).

High resolution images are scaled down to a maximum resolution of 768 by 576 pixels, to avoid artifacts introduced by DirectShow when the video samples’ size exceedes the size of the memory installed in the video card.
