Ok. The aspect ratio is set to 4:3. Some other guys video here from the game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PgjtZ02kg0 - the car looks squished as well. Thats how it is supposed to look.
About the odd resolution, I just cropped the black borders, so it lowered resolution little bit. This is how the source video looks like:
Btw... I encoded it using sony vegas with x264 codec with the same settings I have for longplays in megui, so the quality should be same. And I rendered it in 25FPS and by me, it looks smoother.

So tell if I really shall encode it in 60 FPS using megui or 25FPS using sony vegas. By me the one from sony vegas looks better. What do you say?
Quality comparsion
