How will the Somebody’s Basement Player display my vid?
The player automatically adds black bars so that videos are displayed correctly without cropping or stretching, whatever the size of the video or the player. For example, the player will automatically add vertical bars (pillarboxing) to 4:3 videos in the 16:9 widescreen player size. However if the player is resized (when embedded on another website for example) the 16:9 videos are letterboxed (black bars top and bottom) when the player is sized to 4:3. Anamorphic videos will be automatically letterboxed when shown in either 16:9 or 4:3 sized players. The player can only do this if the native aspect ratio of the video is maintained.
