Re: Feedback on New Bigger, Better Video Player

Make it so  the person uploading the video can decide if they want
their player to be widescreen or fullscreen. And don't leave it up so
the user to decide because then they'll have to constantly be
switching their settings back and forward if the black bars bug them
as much as they bug me.
