on my player it says 480 x 320 is the size, and it looks like the same size on that page to me.
both videos look clear to me and loaded pretty quickly
hope this helps

well, sorta. the embedded player is 480 but i see empty space to the left and right of the video... and when i played the video on my media player and screen capped it, it wasn't showing up as 480 even though it should be :cry:

are you seeing the movie play from edge to edge in the embedded player?

no, I see black bars on the left and on the right as well.
It didnt bother me to be honest.
Some of your models there are HOT btw

Ive attached a picture of what I see, but shrunk it down by 50%

Your first link showed it as 480 at 61K and played fine on my wm player. There was black on both sides. THe second link took forever to load and yes there was black on both sides for me in the embedded player. Page seemed grey.

Using firefox as well. Did not try it in IE.

Basschick,

You are losing 20 pixels on each side...

**basschick** · 06-27-2006, 02:48 AM

that's what i see but if you right click the video in the player and go to properties, it says it's 480 x 320 :-/

at least it does for me.

You are getting about 440 by something on BOTH.

It's not an html embedding issue. The video is not 480. It's letterboxed on the right and left. I believe it got bars added in the encoding.

I like that tool.

Yea,

I agree. It looks like it was "letterboxed" on the right and left. So the actual video is 480, but with letterboxes. Like a dvd... Only left and right.

when i vidcap it in screenshots there are no black bars.
