It looks like it squeezed the right and left side together. It was a 16:9 originally so Idk why it would do that. Is it the file type. (.wmv) or is there a way to change it?

Why Did Vimeo Mess Up My Aspect Ratio?
- Thread starter MrJay
- Start date
The Vimeo compression guidelines say that videos should use the H.264 codec at 640, 1280 or 1920px wide. Using a .wmv encoded file may not be your only problem but it's probably playing a significant part in Vimeo misinterpreting the aspect ratio.
Most modern NLEs will have options for exporting H.264 files; if you let us know what editing software and operating system you're using I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Strange that the thumbnail worked fine, did you upload a different thumbnail?
I'm using Sony Vegas Movie Studio, and what file should I export it as?
It'll say in the FAQs and probably on the actual upload page. I haven't uploaded anything for a while so I can't really remember. The recommended is likely to be a H.264. I don't know if Vegas can export as that, haven't used it enough. Using the YouTube upload setting is likely to produce a similar kind of file that Vimeo will like

Give mp4 a try. That would likely include the h.264 that vimeo is asking for.
