[FONT=Arial]Hi,[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]I have lot’s of video material which I want to put online into a Flash web site.[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]I use Flash 8 video encoder which comes with Flash 8. Most of my video material is recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio but when I encode 16:9 aspect ratio video I receive back video with 4:3 aspect ratio which looks ugly and elongate. [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Is there a way to force Flash 8 Video Encoder to encode in 16:9 aspect ratio ?[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Thanks,[/FONT]
