Actually the video is at full screen for fast computers
Computer speed has absolutely nothing to do with it. ;)

That's correct.

Not to brag, but you all know what kind of quality clips I have on YouTube.. Example:


The exact same process I used to upload that video, I used here and look how its squashed, and how low quality it is, even if you click high quality...


I think YouTube did something to their video compressor / codec management.

That video isn't really that squashed. Many of my 4000 emulator clips are like that.

Well, again, it was done the same way as the previous video, and it looked fine, but this one has the black bars on the top and the bottom.

So last night the storms knocked out my power, and tonight they knocked out my cable. I called Comcast and got the following response: "There is currently an outage in your area, but we don't know when the problem will be resolved". Typical Comcast customer service. You'd think they'd know something about the circumstances of the problem and have at least an estimated time of restoration.  :rolleyes:

So, I went to work today at 5pm - expecting it to rain, because of Dolly...around 6 I headed outside to clean patio tables and noticed amazing black clouds with consecutive lightning strikes

"Ohhh yeah" (koolaid man style)  :P i whispered to myself

couple of minutes later, i wanna guess a 50-60 mph wind gust blew threw shortly before the storm, then it started pouring like hell, visibility dropped to about 0, as you couldn't see anything threw the restaurant windows. I wanted to get footage of it on my phone - but my manager was lookin' and I probably would have gotten in trouble.

so it lasted a good 30-40 minutes - then I come home at 11, to find my mail box had blew over with the wind gust, hahahaha. i laughed pretty hard

its not every day you see a mailbox flying down the street  :P

You could have changed the channel.

Oh wait...you have Comcast....
