That is too cute!!! They should take that video off the web.

Cute.
But why is his TV showing the picture as a box in the middle of the screen?

Cute! Yeah my young kids are already Trekkies too.
3- Looks like its double-letterboxed.
That tends to happen a lot these days if you have a 3:4 SD TV and its hooked up to a converter. (I have that exact TV in my bedroom; its our old one before we switched to HD.) Its probably a 16:9 HD broadcast of a 3:4 program, which is letterboxed on the sides. And then the 16:9 broadcast is shown on a 3:4 TV which means its letterboxed (top and bottom) again.
Sometimes depending on your equipment, you may be able to “zoom” and get it to fill the screen, but it depends.
All of the aspect ratio switching is the most obnoxious part of the “modernization” of TV. We very frequently have to look at letterboxes, double-letterboxes (occasionally), and stretchy people. :-)

Soooo cute
My daughter is now 10, and my son 8, and, despite my greatest efforts (and thanks to them as well),Tiffany Silver, my son is a SW fan. No care in the world for Trek.
But, my 10 year old daughter gets a gold star for saying “that sucks” to Spock and Uhura in the new film after lots of exposure and supposed indifference to the franchise. We barely watch it,Silver Tiffany Necklace, but all those years in the swing, or whatever, as we watched as she grew, made an impression.
You have to love the universal power of Spock. Zack gets it too. But he messed up in the lift, for sure!

Yeah, you got that right. The stretchy people really get on my nerves. I just wish the industry would just pick ONE aspect ratio and stay with it.

Oh Yeah really CUTE!!!

So I’m not the only father that turned his kids into geeks while they were still in diapers. I think I have a similar piece of footage on my old 8mm videos. My daughter’s imaginary friend was Barry Allen because The Flash was on TV when she was about 2. Ran around with a little action figure everywhere she went.
“Daddy, Barry is mad at you.”
“Oh yeah, why’s that?
“Coz you wouldn’t give us any candy.”
“Ohhh….I see.”

#7 – They did. HD Programming is 16×9. Pre-HD programming is 4×3. TV programming retransferred to HD, such as the original STAR TREK will be 4×3 in a 16×9 frame (pillarboxed).
Programs on Blu-ray are all 16×9. The movies themselves can be 1.37 4×3 (pre-1954), 1.85, or 2.40.

Hi, I am the dad of this little beautiful little girl!
My wife and I were shocked to see that she’d gone viral after only a week! (I was wondering today why the view count had gone up so much today)
Thanks,Tiffany Herz, trekmovie.com, for showing the world how much fun we have watching my little girl enjoy Star Trek!
@#3 – We have an AppleTV (not one of the new black ones – one of the “old” white/aluminum ones) We bought all three digitally-remastered seasons of Star Trek TOS a few months back from iTunes.
The upside: we now have one-click access to ALL of TOS Star Tek episodes…
The downside (since AppleTV only outputs video in wide-screen): We have to put up with the “border” all around the picture on our standard-def TV.
Thanks, everyone for the sweet responses about our little girl!
*(and,Tiffany Wedding Rings, if you want – you can see a pic I made of my comic strip character dressed up like Spock – I called it “Amok Tim”)

Wait a year. It’ll change.
13. The Riddler - September 24,Tiffany Key, 2010
I think this is proof that people are born Trekkers.
14. Mary - September 24, 2010
I’m her proud gma! We actually heard her momma scolding her recently with, “You won’t get to watch Star Trek with Daddy this evening if you do that again!”…and, she sobbed!
15. John Trowbridge - September 24, 2010
That’s a cute video. It reminds me of the days when James was two and watched TOS with me. He would walk around the house, extend his hand, and say, “Nice to meet you, Spock”.
16. Simon - September 24, 2010
#10 – I work in video. No it will not. Even the upcoming 4k format is 16×9.
4×3 was a TV standard for over 60 years.
17. Simon - September 24, 2010
I mean #12…(not 10, which is *me*)
18. CarlG - September 24, 2010
Oh my God, that was ADORABLE! :)
19. C.S. Lewis - September 25, 2010
Adorable,Tiffany Charm Bracelets! While my sons have yet to see a Star Trek, I share in Jeremy, Mary and mother’s delight. This video will warm their hearts (and embarrass their daughter) for many years.
God bless,
C.S. Lewis
20. JB - September 25, 2010
That was great! My kids also used to dance to the Star Trek theme at that age and are still big fans today as teens. Thanks for sharing!
21. Shat Hands - September 25, 2010

27. Red Dead Ryan - September 26, 2010
I just love it when people discuss aspect ratios and formats, LOL!
28. Harry Mudd - September 26, 2010
Here’s a funny Spock video I found today on YouTube: Spock’s English School.
29. Basement Blogger - September 27, 2010
