Johnny Maddox and Adam Swanson perform Irving Berlin's "In My Harem" (1913) and "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee" with "Down Yonder" in the Diamond Belle Saloon at the Strater Hotel in Durango, Colorado - August 5, 2009.
A friend of mine in San Francisco has a copy of an original Rythmodik piano roll with this played by Albert Gumble! (as a duet with Frederick Arno, I believe). It is a really great hand-played ragtime duet roll, and I hope to be able to borrow and scan it next time I'm up there!
How delightful! I was about to package and price a copy of the original sheet music for "In My Harem" and thought I'd try to find it on youtube--and here it is! Thanks!
It's a little program called DVDPatcher. I just enter all the values the same as the MPEG2 source from my camera but check 16:9 instead and tell it to rewrite the header only. Then I use another program to convert the audio for YouTube use since YouTube totally screws up the AC3 audio from my camera. This other program, Prism Video Converter, isn't compatible with NTSC sources so it would screw up the aspect ratio if I used it to convert video.
Thanks for this wonderful hint above! What a nice trick. I have some videos posted that I can fix now. You are definitely worth much more than just a good Elmer Fudd impersonator!
Also, What is the other program you mentioned that will "rewrite the headers so that YouTube will know they're 16:9"
WOW!! Never heard of Adam Swanson before but anyone who can keep up with Mr. Maddox is fantastic. thanks

Ron,
Well, you went way over my head on this little trick.
I think all I'll need is that delightful little "yt:stretch=16:9" - it works slicker'n a whistle.
