I'm not sure that is a fair representation. I think these people (myself included) understand the technology limitations of the current webcasts and archieved video. If the video was 'tv quality' I think the full screen would be ideal, but it's not really close to that good. Maybe in a few years it will get good enough, but until then, I'm afraid the webcasts will look a lot like this video:
