Will the widescreen pertain to all computers? On my desk computer (Windows, large, and old), there's widescreen, but not on my laptop.

I could care less about wide screen vs 4:3. The content of the video is the same. People need to stop being so easily hyped and brainwashed.

There are millions of pre-existing videos that are now an absolute eyesore in this new format.

i like the idea but personally i want a choice on whether to switch from normal to widescreen, because for example there are some videos that dont fir the screen atall and its more black screen than video :(

It s a good idea but youtube is way too slow now and it sucks. I used to be able to enjoy videos without it havin to load in the midle of a video. Please youtube either change it or giv us the option to pick the screen we want.

Well, when I first noticed this widescreen feature, I fainted.
I was so APPAULED!!!!!!

I tried loads of times to make my vids fit into the player, but no, the attempts failed!!!

But after about one week, I've figured out how to do it, and now I LOVE the new player!

Sure it makes 4:3 vids seem crap, but soon, everyone will be uploading 16:9 vids, but I would agree on the choice of youtube player, it would make everyone happy, but I'd want 16:9 to be the default player.

I love it. Also mysteriously fixed the "we're sorry this video is no longer available" problem. Coincidence? I doubt it. Whatever they did, it works for me! I'm back in Youtube Heaven!!!!

Finally! It's about time.

People complaining about this should get their head out of 1984 and buy a real tv/monitor (16:9).

I do not like the new Widescreen, either. They need to have a Preference or Link to switch it back.

Well I'm not complaining about this Widescreen crap.. I just want to watch my videos.. I can care less about how the quality is as long as I can make out whatever the hell I'm watching. Now about those lovely High Definition Black bars on the side of the every video that's not HD..It brings a lot of interest into watching my videos.. (Sarcasm)

O.K all jokes aside, I really don't like this wide screen feature.. It should be a option for people who want to view it that way instead of forcing every user on the damn site to have to bear with it. I mean c'mon, A lot of people were so used to the old video layout and this wide screen features spreads everything out OMG it doesn't look right AT ALL.. that's my opinion.

They should of had a "Toggle Widescreen" button somewhere on the video.. that would be much smarter!!!

Can't stand it. I could understand it if there were more widescreen videos, but I despise the black bars on the sides of all the other ones. Drives me nuts. There should be a choice for us, because this is ridiculous.
