I've just been to Youtube and it seems that they're not embracing 16:9. They've decided instead to switch everything to 16:10. I wondered why this was, so I decided to encode an FLV file in 16:9 and put it on my website. I think it's too wide, what do you think? http://lbtserver.2myip.net/silverlineprodu...ite/eragon.html Oh, and I'm talking about the movie on the page if you're wondering. It's too wide isn't it? It doesn't even look right on my 16:9 laptop. |

Looks like the ratio is off by a bit. Slightly wider than it should look. |

Exactly what I was thinking. But I've checked the ratio myself. It is 16:9. I guess I'll have to switch it to 16:10. The actual video is encoded in 16:9 so adjusting the player window wouldn't do anything but put black bars along the top and bottom of the video. I have to re-encode the entire video now.

Does it look off? I have a 16:9 TV so I'm a bit used to how that aspect ratio "should" look. That video actually didn't look overly wide to me. I thought it looked normal. |

Well not anymore. I already changed it to 16:10. It looks quite nice now on both my 16:9, 16:10, and 4:3 monitors.
