I'm editing my video in Windows Live Movie Maker from Live Essentials 2011.

My source video is from camera and is .mp4 format with size of 1280 x 720. After editing in Movie Maker, I save the movie. And no matter what option I chose, I always end up with .wmv file, that is either 4:3 image with black stripes above and below the video, or 16:9 with black frame all around the image.

What settings should I use, to be able to export or save the video in 1280 x 720 without any black border?
