YouTube, after years of complaints over the size of its video player, has changed to wider size since Nov, 2008. And then did you find more complaints about the black bars around your video? Do you know the proper settings to get perfect 16:9 widescreen video for Youtube? Read on this article and you will get all answers to receive better video viewing experience on Youtube.
The Letterbox Bar and Pillarbox Bar
As you could see in the above figure, the black bars around the video (windowboxing) ruin the view experience completely. This is probably because letterboxing is added to create 4:3 video from 16:9, meanwhile, pillarboxing is also added by the widescreen player. So you are recommended to upload original 16:9 video to Youtube.
In DVD Slideshow Builder, you could easily get blackbar-free Youtube video by project settings (through Settings button on top) and settings in the Video Advanced Settings dialog, shown as below. Before saving video, make sure you have set the Resolution to 16:9 aspect ratio.
Generally, 1280x720 is recommended. However, for a smaller size of video, you could use other resolutions. To decide the resolution, just divide width by the height, if the result equals to 1.777777, that is 16:9 widescreen video, which could be played perfectly on Youtube.
Note that if your media sources are in 16:9 aspect ratio, everything is perfect to make widescreen youtube video, but if mismatch ratio happens, adjustments are required. In such cases, either cut or stretch media to keep the specified aspect ratio. Otherwise, keep the mismatch aspect ratio and black bar is unavoidable.
Here is the 16:9 widescreen video on Youtube (High Quality) created with Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder.
Youtube Video Tips: 1. Add &fmt=22 to youtube video URL for a larger player size. For example, to directly watch above 16:9 widescreen video in the wider youtube player, visit youtube video address like this: http://www.youtube.com/v/HD_PZjEh32Y&fmt=22.
Make HD 16:9 Widescreen Video for Youtube
The newly released DVD Slideshow Builder allows you to create high-definition video for Youtube in the following formats. All is supported by Youtube and you can also select desired resolution (1280x720 - 16:9 HD is recommended). To make proper settings for HD Youtube widescreen video, click Settings button after selecting output formats and specify right encorder, resolutions, frame rate and bit rate. After created, simply upload videos to Youtube, and they will fill the player entirely. HD H.264 Video (*.mp4, *.mov)
HD MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)
HD MPEG-2 Video (*.mpg)
HD ASF Video (*.asf)
HD AVI Video (*.avi)
HD WMV Video (*.wmv)
Note: Due to the high quality, HD 16:9 widescreen Youtube videos require faster internet connection speed.
Change Pillarbox Youtube Video to 16:9
You may have shared many normal aspect ratio video before youtube changes it player to larger size. If so, you could edit video info and add yt:stretch=16:9 to the Tag textbox. Another useful youtube video tricks are yt:stretch=4:3, yt:crop=4:3, yt:crop=16:9. Use yt:crop=16:9 to crop out letterbox and pillarbox bars. Stretch youtube video to 16:9 widescreen video now to full fill youtube video player. But note that your video may be short, squat and a bit of chubby looking.
Conclusion
To best upload widescreen video to youtube, make sure you are using the original videos without re-sampling and directly create 16:9 video to upload onto Youtube. Download DVD Slideshow Builder Trial Version to make either normal 16:9 video or High Definition widescreen video perfectly compatible with Youtube widescreen player.

And put on scary outfits, fill garbage bags with leaves, hang up spider webs on your house and make a few fake head stones. It is really easy to do the Halloween family homemade decoration and it won’t cost much.

Many movie theatres around the country host a special all-night horror fest on Halloween. They usually begin around midnight. So get together some friends, load up on popcorn and soda, and get ready for hours of horror.

This tutorial is mainly about how to burn JPEG image files to a regular data DVD,display JPEG images and JPEG DVDSlideshows through your DVD players manualy.
I love taking photos, and especially love taking photos for my family as well, wedding ceremony, birthday, family festival..., so many precious memorable days.
However, I am worried about how to store them in a better and safer way.
In general, if I am completely done working on them, I will keep saving files as JPEG files.
JPEG is the most common photo format used by digital cameras and other photographic image capture devices; The most common filename extensions for files employing JPEG compression are .jpg and .jpeg.
I keep my work on a hard drive and back it all up on a 2nd drive. I also keep DVDs of my important files, and all the originals I shoot when I do a job for a client. Also keep most my good JPEG files that way.
Both DVDs and CDs are good for archival JPEG file storage. The big difference is in the capacity: a CD can hold between 600 and 800 MB of information, while a DVD typically can hold about 4.7 GB.
You can either create a slide show or a data disc. The data disc is just a collection of jpeg files. The slideshow is a timed display of your pictures, possibly accompanied by music.
If you have a few dollars, I would recommend the use of a thumb drive. Those are made of solid state computer chips and are made lots of activity - adding files, subtracting files, and soon. And it fits in your pocket.
First, to make DVDs of your JPEG photos, you will need photo slideshow software. This software may have come packaged with your camera. You will also need Video editing software;
I would recommend first building a slide show in PowerPoint, share that with your friends and family ,and also use it as the foundation for your JPEG video DVD. Using transitions, sound, and effects for either individual slides or groups of slides.
Windows Movie Maker , included free in XP and Vista, helps to create AVI or WMA slideshows. Although it doesn’t natively burn DVDs playable by many DVD players, Windows Movie Maker has many powerful features (say exquisite effects) to magnetize users and adding DVD writing capabilities to Windows Movie Maker with inexpensive applications will figure it out. Using third-party software to turn the movie you made into DVDs.
Commercial apps wholly make for creating DVD slide shows:

Nero has a 15-day trial for PhotoShow Deluxe, while the free PhotoDVD trial lets you create slide shows with up to 100 images.
