So there will need to an update but I won't hold my breathe. OTOH, I tried one of the free offerings, a Spanish horror movie and "da kids" don't know aspect ratios as everyone was skinnier than the should be on driving oval shaped tires. The film was obviously shot in "scope" and the presentation was in 16:9. Since I started to watch it on Firefox on Linux, download helper was active and downloaded the movie for me. I ran it through a remux to change the aspect ratio flag from 16:9 to 21:9 and then it looked right. They're going to get a lot of heat from film buffs unless their encoding folks know the differences in "Original Aspect Ratio."
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: YouTube does Movies
Thanks, meru~~excellent! One can never have to much CG in their day. Another little fun fact~~he hoped his stage name sounded enough like Gary Cooper that people might get confused and be more likely to see his movies.

Hi Sal Do not let them spoil you. You probably know that sunbathing was his fav sport according to his biography he was a"sunshine addict" [;)] .

No I meant his brother-in-law got the LSD from Grant but probably not. Years later he apologized to me for being so obnoxious because of being on LSD at jam sessions. Nice guy though and good bass player. And at the time I didn't know who his sister was (nor that her uncle was my small town school principal).

I have YouTube on my Samsung BD player and it still just streams the lowest 240p resolution. So that app would need an update but when Netflix updated their app last fall Samsung broke it and it took months for them to get it fixed. Needless to say I'm not impressed with Samsung engineering. OTOH, the Vimeo streams HD beautifully. Typical of the "lemon stand" I call Google (i.e. kids running a business) there's no information at least obvious about HD streaming but I also read that movies streamed to Android tablets with 3.1 will have HD streams on YouTube. Reason I wondered is $3.99 is pretty cheap as other services charge more for HD. This business model is like Vudu, CinemaNow and other streaming services, PPV where you have a 24 hour window to watch the film. Netflix you can pick up the watching the film whenever, no windows unless the licensee pulls the title which they do sometimes. This also comes as AT&T is implementing it's caps pissed that people aren't buying its high profit U-Verse and watching Internet streams instead. Some of us are calling for people to organize and complain to their city councils because AT&T and Comcast are "franchised" by the city to use the utility poles and probably the undergound too. Get your city to at least threaten to implement a third open fiber system open these companies competition thus driving the fees down and the speed up.

Wonder if he got his LSD from him? ;-) Cary Grant got his acid from his shrink. He dropped acid in a clinical setting with his psychotherapist on pretty much a monthly basis for much of the latter years of his life. Decades, according to some biog- raphers. Therapist was really into LSD as a way of enhancing therapy, and if Cary Grant was the "proof of the pudding" of his theories, he may have been onto something.
