Thrashalla:
We're well aware. The mp4 encoding for iPad and iPod restricts the aspect ratio in that manner. I'll revisit the high res mp4, but the iPod/Portable version is going to be letterboxed.

I wondered if that was an iPod/iPad factor and it was......thanks

I can see doing it for the low-res version for backwards compatibility with older devices, but any device able to play the hi-res version would be 16:9 capable.

One would think so. However, it's less a restriction of the device and more a restriction of the mp4 profile required for those devices. Either way, I'll figure it out and have a new one up Monday.

Thanks for the info, guys.
