Re: Feedback on New Bigger, Better Video Player

bluesvoice04

Hi,
I just been very bad  surprised, as from today all my 4:3 videos
appeared in 16:9.
They look really shit, with the huge black borders.
Please give the video owner the possibility in the channel to be able
to make a choice for the player ratio with a drop down list (16:9 or
4:3), or make possible  using the  custom player in youtube too.
Hoping for a quickly solution! Please let me know...
sincerely
