This actually brings me on to another point. I’ve been having all sorts of problems when using public players (that aren’t my own) to play my anamorphic 16:9 FLV videos. When uploading to blip.tv, for example, the widescreen video would be squashed into a square (1:1). After a lot of fiddling around it turns out that my Sorenson Squeeze is setting the metadata of the flv incorrectly: the width is correct, but the height is always the same as the width, which explains why all the players are squashing my videos into squares. Bear in mind that it’s Squeeze is doing this only with anamorphic formats.
Now, apparently there’s a way to edit the metadata of an flv after it has been compressed, but the only ways to do this are by using a windows machine. Does anyone know how to edit an FLV’s metadata on a mac?
