It took me a while to re-create my template in 16:9 format, but I did and published my first two HD videos to YouTube...and I was quite <a href="http://www.digitalhomethoughts.com/news/show/91318/dell-inspiron-mini-9-netbook-unboxing-and-first-impressions.html" target="_blank">disappointed with the results</a>. YouTube only offers a 4:3 aspect ratio player, so 16:9 videos look pretty tiny with those big black bars on the top and bottom.
