I'm out of the country so have no idea - but have TV3 ditched the widescreen aspect ratio. 60Minutes from Sept 30 appears to have been shot in 4:3 This from tv3 ondemand. lots of interlacing artifacts as well. Just terrible terrible. They have monkeys running the TV3 website or something?

seems to be a processing error surely.

I could just about guarantee it is a processing error. Errors seem to be more common than not when it comes to the TV3 ondemand service.

Other channels add weight to people, TV3 takes kilos off. On demand from TV3/TVNZ is a waste of time until they go HD.

l43a2: seems to be a processing error surely. +1 That looks like widescreen squashed to 4:3.

ilovemusic: Other channels add weight to people, TV3 takes kilos off. On demand from TV3/TVNZ is a waste of time until they go HD. its not exactly "a waste of time".... I've used it on a few occasions when I needed to catch something I forgot to record, or something I didn't think to record. for that its very useful, even if not in HD.

Haha! I see this all the time. So much so, in fact that I assumed it was what they intended. Workstation: Intel DH67CL ~ i5-2500 ~ 4GB Corsair RAM (x2) ~ Intel X25-M 80GB SSD Laptop: Dell Inspiron 1564 ~ i5-520M ~ 4.00GB RAM ~ 500GB SATA HDD ~ Win7 Home Premium x64 Common misconceptions.

Flash does some weird things with aspect ratios if you are running 2 different aspect monitors. Have seen that before when I had a 4:3 main screen in 1600x1200 and a secondary 1920x1080 screen. Gave up and got another 16:9 panel to solve it. Richard rich.ms

Nothing related to flash at all.
