We now have WIDESCREEN videos!

Postby Marty McFly » Tue Jan 19, 2010 4:23 pm

Yes, we now have widescreen videos on our website. Check them out:





" I believe a man is as big as what he's seeking. I believe you're a big man, Mr. Macreedy." - Bad at Black Rock (1955)

James T. Kirk: "Come, come, Mr. Scott. Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant."

Countdown until Doc Brown embarks on a historic journey (in HD!):

:?: The videos don't work for you? Do any of the videos on the website currently work for you? Anyone else having this problem?

I've tested on two laptops and it appears to be working fine.

I do not seem to be able to view any of the videos at moment. I don't know why maybe something to do with a java update.

I'm having the same problem as the Batman described above. They don't seem to be appearing, just a faint line to the left hand side all the way down in your post.

Might be a Microsoft problem. I'll have Padme look into it for you guys. :)

Thanks for the screen cap. It's probably a coding problem. We build the site on Macs so sometimes Microsoft problems like this can slip through the net.

I'm looking into this at the moment, for some reason Microsoft based computers aren't able to handle the new dimensions for the YouTube video's...

I have change the settings back to the old dimensions for now whilst I work on this problem so you should all be able to see the video's again.

I think I have corrected the problem, can everyone please let me know if they can see the video's above in widescreen format? I can currently see them without a problem on a Microsoft PC using IE.
