Old enough to be in the square aspect ratio.

The aspect ratio of the video is wonky, and the "smart" sizing doesn't know how tall it should make the viewport.

It's an edge case and the video player is too dumb to know to keep the control bar in the viewport, so it allows it to go out of the bottom of the frame where you can't touch it. If you right-click you can select pause and mute. I wonder if you long-hold on a tablet it'll give you those options.

Pretty well done except half the clips had the wrong aspect ratio

Interestingly, this version is a much lower quality than the other version I posted earlier today. Might be useful to be able to update the source on videos in cases like these (or perhaps we can?) @lucky760

Well, taking a look in this specific case the aspect ratio is different so I would say keep this one. But perhaps in the future...

Interesting, but I think it needed to touch on the idea that A0 is not 1 square meter in the sense of 1m x 1m, but rather it has an area of 1m squared with the A aspect ratio of 1 / sqrt(2).

The graphic doodles animating during the talk show A0 as 1m x 1m, which would blow the whole aspect ratio quality right out of the water.

--EDIT-- Did a wikipedia search and came up with a handy chart HERE.

Dang aspect ratio!

Is it just me or are these aspect ratios getting wider and wider? Soon they won't be able to fit his head on screen unless it's sideways.

You know what bothers me more than the vertical aspect ratio? Videos that stutter with a slow frame rate. My brain has been trained to think there is some buffering going on with my poor broadband connection. Even when I'm at a cinema - I feel the same.

^ as above

Oh my fucking god, that vertical aspect ratio bothers me

The incorrect aspect ratio turns this into a cheerful world full of silly, destructible toy cars.

Is anyone sick of this aspect ratio yet? The iphone video camera should refuse to work unless you hold it sideways.


What if you have to do it narrowly?
