stretch video to 16:9 in firefox

[cokekolev]

When I try to open videos with the vlc plugin in firefox, the ones in 4:3 format don't automatically convert to 16:9, which is the size of my screen. Instead, I see black bars on both sides of the video. Any solution?

This is normal, no?

there must bay a way to do it. i can choose between various formats in the player, not with the plugin. but i can't open payed streams with the player.
