If you haven't noticed (cliked through to the sorce of a video in the past few days) It would seem that YouTube has gotten all up in the DTV revolution ::rolls eyes::

All video is now presented in 16:9 aspect ratio, just like those new fangled H D Tele-o-visions sets.

Welcome to the FUTURE!

The question is whether we should automagically update all of the VideoSift embeds to display in the new ratio. The vast, vast majority though will just have big black blocks on both sides because they weren't uploaded at that ratio.

Maybe there could be a widescreen check box when submitting, like the high quality check box, so the sift would know to not alter the aspect ratio on those vids that are 16:9.

Hmmm now I don't see that high quality box, I know it was there earlier!
