We, in all honesty, need an option to be able to use the new feature
or not. Either that, or older 4:3 videos need to have the option to be
changed back to the original 4:3 ratio for an optimum viewing
experience.

I have no problem with 16:9, and I'll probably upload all my videos in
a HQ 16:9 format, but I'd still like for my old videos to have good
quality on them when viewed.
