Word press presenting in the wrong aspec ratio

  • Unknown's avatar

    I purchased the bundle which included word press. the problem is the player is presenting the video 4 x 3 and not 16 by 9. the file I up loaded is 1440 by 1080 HD file Mp4 format. Please advise what is the best file to up load to get the right aspect ratio.. I have my own video player which I link to and that works fine but I want to embed the video and need to use your player to do that. thanks.. tom hickman http://www.hikingwithtom.org

    Scroll down to the bottom, 2nd post from the bottom you will see the video in 4 by 3 aspect ratio.. Called Hiking Bear Hill Loop.

    There is also a link to my player right under the word press video and it plays correctly it is the same file in both players…
    Thanks…

    OK I just did another video from a windows media file and the word press player did the same this it compressed it into a 4 by 3 player instead of 16 by 9. Seems like something is wrong with word press player hope you can fix it. I really would like to use it but not with the wrong aspect ratio. Thanks… The WMV file is Hiking Higby Mtn…

  • It looks like the video itself is fine, but the Flash player is stretching it.

    If you have Flash disabled, or you check “Only display videos in free software formats” at Settings -> Media in your blog’s Dashboard, the aspect ratio is fine.

    I’ll see what we can do about this.
