Hi, I have downloaded and recorded a number of flv files from the UK channel 4 website. When they are streaming in the browser they look fine. When I click on the flv file to play it then it starts in 16:9 (correct) but then jumps into 4:3 (not correct!). If I convert it to any other format then it is also on the wrong aspect ratio. If I load the flv file into windows movie maker it is also incorrect, so I'm assuming that replay media catcher is storing the wrong aspect ratio when it captures the video stream. I am using the latest version downloaded on 2nd November 2010. How do I overcome this problem- the movies are not watchable as they are!

One such affected movie can be found at:

Hi Dan

No problem on the welsh, being in the US - I can't view or test these files unfortunately. Would somebody else from the UK be kind enough to test these and let us know your results?

Thanks :)
