Default Is there a video streaming service that wont mangle my vids?

I need to have clips of TV programmes/videos I've done availible online. Clients or potential clients then just click a link to see the job. I want them to be able to browse stuff rather than the more ftp 'click this link to download a file to your PC' way I've been used to.

I have been trying Photobucket, YouTube, MySpace and Google Video. Photobucket crops off the right third of the file (usually an MP4 or a Quicktime .mov that is flagged as 16:9) as does MySpace . YouTube and Google displays it anamorphically (squashed up).

Is there ANYTHING out there that will let people view these clips in their proper aspect ratio as you do at home on your 16:9 widescreen telly?

I'm happy to pay for a decent service. How dare they mangle my vids!!!!

Cheers D

No that looks fine and nice and widescreen. How does Google know its widescreen and hence stretch it out accordingly? What was your original source file? Thanks for any help. D

The original was a .wmv file, I shot it on a Sony handycam in - fake - 16:9
