Automatic resize to Widescreen?
I know lucky tweaked siftbots arm a while ago so YouTube embeds would be displayed bigger than stated in the original code.
Of course that is really neat for 4:3 videos, but now that there are a lot of widescreen only clips I think it would also be neat to have sifty detect that and tweak the code so it comes out as widescreen, and not letterboxed.
Is that even possible, or would that mess up the clips with the old aspect ratio?

Though the size is automatically up-sized when submitting, the aspect ratio is retained. This means if you paste embed code with a widescreen aspect ratio, it will stay widescreen even if siftbot automatically resizes it.

To fix old embeds, the submitter has to edit and paste the new widescreen code.
Ah, just noticed it already does it![](https://videosift.com/vs5/emoticon/wink.gif)
