I'm not a big fan of this. Mainly because 99% of my videos are 16:9,
and yet are still letterboxing. What would be great is if we got to
choose more options in the upload process. Like wheather or not we
wanted that video to play in the widescreen player, or if we wanted
the video to automatically crop or zoom into the full player (like on
the iPhone/iPod touch,) etc.

Another thing is that the YouTube pages look really awkward. If
anything, make the modules on the right of the page a little wider. It
looks very weird with the left really wide and the right very narrow.
Also, with the new page style, try applying it to every page. It's not
consise and is kind of strange.
