Seems as though I'm not the first to notice this.
I'm not fond of widescreen videos. There must be a way to disable it.
 
The old videos have a huge black border around the video. It's not a big of a problem, but I think it should be enabled when you are uploading a video with a certain ratio aspect (16:9 - Widescreen).

There is. Last I checked, &fmt=18 goes back to the original 4:3 aspect, which is sorta ironic. Less is more...?

I agree with this post. I'm used to how it was before and the fact that related videos on the side are smaller.

Tried this on several videos. Doesn't seem to work.
 
I don't get Youtube.

The high quality thing is ideal, and there are very few situations in which low quality would be preferred. So they make it a small option that only appears on half the videos, while the rest have to be manually put in the URL.

Meanwhile, this widescreen thing would only really look nice when posting illegal copies of movies 'n stuff, so they turn it on automatically for all videos, and make it so you have to put something in the URL to turn it off?


This supports my "Youtube is run by monkeys" theory.

I agree too, the old full screen is better than seeing black boarders
