What Happened to the "bigger" Option?

I thought it was a great option and since adding the new video source sites, I see that it disappeared. I find myself going directly to Youtube and Google for most videos anyway so I can watch them full screen (especially for longer videos).



Are you planning on bringing this "bigger" option back, or better yet, creating your own full screen button? I'd much rather remain on videosift to watch clips in full screen mode if I could.



I like watching videos on the "TV computer" I have set up in my living room, but it's hard to see what's going on in a tiny window sometimes with such crappy TV resolution..

We had to turn it off temporarily to accomodate our new video hosts. Expect it back soon.

thanks dag.



How about a full screen (fit to screen) option? Are you considering that at all, or is it a pain in the ass do to?

well most of the videos don't scale propperly to all video resolutions, for instance a wide screen 1900 by 1200 would look pretty weird, google handles aspect ratio on the fly. They appear to be the only video service doing it. Youtube will let you scale up to any size but the resulting image is pretty distorted.

One of the biggest problems with a scale to any size is that the final resolution could be considerably uglier. We have been contemplating a videsofit page that scales to your resolution, with the videos growing bigger as the page does. This presents some problems with IE though, so it is still on the back burner... IE is teh evil.
