Anyways as some may notice at youtube the vids have become wide screen now your vid will be stretched out which really sucks.

Anyways just wanted to inform you that instead of &fmt=18 you use &fmt=22 for the 720 wide vid. Haven't tested bit rates so for all we know it's gonna be a downgrade of quality.

It depends on the vid most of the newest vid i was browsing all stretched out. older vids get slightly pulled but not a full streach. =p

i guess if you have a widescreen minitor just act like it's everything else streached out.

hmm, i'm not getting any 'stretched out' 4:3 vids; what i do see are a couple of actual widescreen youtube vids, maybe 16, and the old 4:3 vids which display as a square on my monitor with black bars on the sides...

and yes the new widescreen vids are awesome, hope they don't do any crazy streching with the old vids though

the "widescreen" is stretched by alot of vids you see you tube sloppy encoding in works where it starts out 4:3 and goes into wide screen. Makes quality worse youtube should never resize they are horrible at it

What's great though is that you can now have true 720p HD content to Youtube. I wanted to present the MSL finals in HD but didn't get a good source.

Well how do you get a game in 640x480 to be HD just not possible unless it's stretched out which may or may not help see the finer details
Initial upload of random shit seems to work fine fully compressed and barely compressed seems to give very similar quality atlest on this
youtube.com/watch?v=3i-w8j5yI9s&fmt=22
but i was planning to upload random sc shit to see if croping at 720 vs stretching but that will take place later porb.

I think youtube should give the hoster a option before uploading the video asking if he wants it wide or or normal screened.
