I don't like the player ether. I need to look into it.
I can tell you worked on it, but its not fixed. Still short and fat. I figured out what you are doing....
Here is what you are starting out with:
Here would be a correct 16:9 crop in a 4:3 window (what it looks like you are trying to accomplish):
Here is what you are doing: What it appears to me you are doing is squeezing the full frame vertically down to fit 16:9. Your web player is not at fault here! See the similarity???
 
Here would be a 16:9 crop on the image and exported as 16:9 to fill up a widescreen TV (but will take a resolution hit)
So my suggestion is to not shoot 4:3 and try to get a pseudo 16:9 image unless you frame for it and can crop it without squeezing it vertically. It's not your player screwing it up, its your editing when you crop.
EDIT: one thing to remember, IF you choose the widescreen letterbox, depending on TV and player, you could end up with a small rectangle playing with tons of black around the image on a HDTV, or it could be just like your showing us now, OR you could just make a 16:9 image like my last image and it will more than likely display correctly on ANY TV and player. It will auto letterbox on 4:3 TVs and full picture on 16:9 TVs.
Now go back and re-edit all those videos .
Just kidding, I hope this helps you.

Technology. It does wonders if you know how to use it.
