lales27,
The widget will scale the movies as it's programmed to do. Some of the movies may be scaled improperly when they're uploaded, and unless the widget is programmed to compensate, it may end up as a horizontally stretched picture. At this point, I don't believe that there's anything you can do in the menatime to correct it (or anything to cause it, for that matter), but I'll be happy to pass that up.

Apologies if this has been discussed, but a search was unsuccessful.
Is there a way to properly scale the playback of widget videos (Youtube, Yahoo, etc.)? Is it correct that Picture Sizing in the remote is disabled when using widgets? So far most of the Youtube videos play back incorrectly and are horizontally stretched, which is also the case with some of the Yahoo widget videos I've checked. The trailer for Julia & Julia played correctly.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? If not, do you know if a firmware update can fix this problem in addition to the other scaling issues previously mentioned here?
After almost one month I'm really quite happy (actually ecstatic) with the TV. I'm not wild about the lack of Mac support and the zoom issues, but am optimistic that these and the DLNA issue are just growing pains that will be remedied.
Thanks for your help.
