--- Comment #6 from Derk-Jan Hartman <[email protected]> 2011-05-28 15:55:59 UTC --- Youtube has some nice feature btw that we can consider: For instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-XViSEyYHA This is a 4:3 640x480 source video. When you look at the Youtube conversions with VLC you will see that the display aspect ratio (or actually the Pixel aspect ratio) is incorrect. In the video options of Youtube, you can correct this problem by setting the option "stretch" to 16:9. Now the incorrect PAR is corrected with a compensated DAR in the video player. The visitors to the Youtube page never realize that the video source is not really correct. Same for a zoom option. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkEaYCkpEB8 Source (and converted) material actually contain black letterboxing. The uploader has set the zoom option to 16:9 and you never notice the problem in the Youtube video player. Could be done for HTML5 video using CSS transformations: http://isithackday.com/hacks/videozoomandrotate/ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
