Is there anyway to specify movie settings other than selecting from the predetermined list?

I have a bunch of WMV files that have:
Bit rate: 699Kbps
Video size: 352 x 288
Aspect Ratio: 11:9

Is there any option to just use the same settings as the video files in the collection?

All I really want to do is combine them. Windows Movie Maker insists on converting the format and
says it will take hours to do.

you can make a custom profile to align with what you have.... but it'll
re-render the movie when saving... but the alignment might make the process
run quicker. Test it.

see the Saving Movies > Custom WMV Profiles page of my site.
