			==Change settings in 2.0==
			Hi,
			I am using Moodle 2.0 (Build: 20101214) for streaming lecture videos. The vids are encoded as FLV (flash video), H.263 video and MP3 audio. Aspect ratio is 4:3 (640x480). I upload the vids to a repository, and use the "add a file" feature.

			The built-in player (flowplayer 3.2.3) works nicely, until you attempt fullscreen viewing. Flowplayer apparently has the scaling set to 'scale', which fills the screen and ignores aspect ratios.

			from http://flowplayer.org/documentation/configuration/clips.html, I see that available scaling options are:

			* fit: Fit to window by preserving the aspect ratio encoded in the file's metadata.
			* half: Half-size (preserves aspect ratio)
			* orig: Use the dimensions encoded in the file. If the video is too big for the available space, the video is scaled using the 'fit' option.
			* scale: Scale the video to fill all available space. Ignores the dimensions in the metadata. This is the default setting.

			My question is, how do I change this setting? where would I find it?"
			Useful information to have, maybe.
