I meant to say I can't see the borders of the video as it plays.

Just to let you know,I sent an email to CNN about the problem,and they suggested uninstalling/reinstalling the latest version of flash,which seems to have fixed the problem.

Okay,the problem is back.The issue is with the video image,not text. To illustrate the problem, I am attaching a side by side screen grab of the same CNN video,both taken at the 54 second mark.The one on the left is from a website called Frequency.com,and the one on the right is from the CNN website.Note that the borders of the video from the CNN website are cut off.Thanks

Actually,using full screen on CNN doesn't help.It just shows a larger version of the smaller video. I don't think CNN wants the videos to render like that-people who are talking,for example,are either not visible,or are half cut off. I contacted CNN tech support,but their suggestions were not helpful.  {link)

You may have answered your own question, what you see may be intentional. I would have hoped CNN tech support would be able to give accurate information, maybe you would like to share details of what was asked and their replies.

I could not find the email to CNN,but I have initiated new correspondence with them.I will post what they say when I hear back.
