Actually, this is how the 2mb/sec clip displays when you click on the link so it's not Pauls error, it's yours. The 4mb/sec one displays 16:9 correctly.
Ask anyone what size they like and usually they pick one size bigger than the one they actually click on. Some questions just aren't worth asking. Are you a good driver? Are you a great lover? How big is your dick? (FYI, Great, Yes and HUGE) Everyone lies. Instead you need to track WHAT your users actually do, and don't forget to compare non-members stats with those from within the members area, not least as you might get a surprise.
I watch plenty of telly on iTunes and gave up downloading HD content a while back for most shows, certainly anything throwaway where the visuals aren't the key element, like sitcoms. But for movies or really nicely shot stuff HD is a maybe.
Lots of people use HD tellys as PC monitors so there's plenty of people looking at screens 1920x1080, but mostly they're sitting closer than TV distance so full screen is a bit unpleasant, so for my money 1280x720 in the middle of that is pretty workable and its a format that plays on a lot of devices like Ipads and phones.
Having a million formats is so last week. 360p at a low bit rate for watching now, and 1280p at something reasonable so you can pretend to yourself you'll watch it high res later is fine by me. Fuck it, move on and just shoot some more. It's why tubes won.
And next time you shoot a stowaway who just arrived in the UK by hiding under an Eddie Stobbart truck get her to wash and/or brush her hair and cut the labels out of the back of her highly flammable pound shop thong.
