OK guys/gals. I'm a rooky when it comes to html code and wesite design (that's why I'm using Visual Site Designer). Please bear with me.
I've started a video business for filming hunts and fishing trips (also developing a second site for weddings/stuff but that's another story). I want to be able to show videos in good qualtiy and size and in 16:9 format. DIVX has some great software but it seems like some of my clients/page visitors cannont get DIVX to work. Flash however (like in Web Video Players) seems like it's the easiest so I'd like to experiment with this program more.
A skin that is 533x300 would be great, but I'm not sure how to do this.
Bill mentions what to do here:

But I don't know how to do what he says.
This post has some good info, but have not had success yet:

Have any other folks been successful with increasing their video size and maintainging a 16:9 ration without loosing too much video qualtiy? Will the next version of WVP be able to work with 16:9 and larger video sizes?

I'm 87.3% sure widescreen clips would work with the right tweaking of dimensions in a skin/template. I want to work on that too. I'll subscribe to this thread, so don't let me forget.

Not too shabby. The actual video portion didn't stretch across the whole wide area, so I resized it (& it was still looking for the FLVs you used when creating it). Let's see if my "Bruzer WS" altered version works out. Thanks for making that skin! I would've taken forever to get myself started on testing.
I'm not sure how many people know about this hidden feature, but if you hold the Ctrl key and click in the gray around around the player, it enables and Edit mode. That'll let you easily modify some sizing and skin images. http://www.flashstrap.com

Thanks a bunch guys! With the help from here and the e-mail bruzer sent me, I was able to figure out what to start tweaking. I played around and was able to make my own skin and even tweak the WVP program and skin so I can automatically pump out videos and skins that look like this:

Not to bad, I didn't know how easy it was to create a skin using photoshop and then simply insert the file in appropriate place. Still got some experimenting to do, but thanks to the help here, I'm on my way!!!

Very cool. Glad you got it working and I think that'll be much slicker on the site than linking to WMVs, streaming and ready to play.

I like it. Good matching of button colors too. We might have to get anything newly created added to the Video Player Skins thread.
