Youtube video on Only Fools and Horses too big for screen

[Speedo1968]

Have been catching up on some old UK tv series.
Only Fools and Horses - when viewed on Youtube or DM or, when downloaded and viewed on laptop the picture size often changes with a too large distorted picture or a clear good size picture.

I have checked DM and it is the same problem.

I guess this is from the original upload.

All the complete episodes are from someone called Jame Andy.
Clips from others are perfect quality.
Could anyone suggest why this happens and if the picture can be adjusted to a clear one using VLC or Windows media player ?
Also any ideas where to find a good quality full episode ?

Quite sure you can't adjust these distortions.

The uploads from "Jame Andy" look like filmed from a TV? screen.

Terrible picture and audio quality.

The distortion is probably intentional to hide the broadcaster logo/insert.

It's a method to hide bootleg/pirate copies to be automatically detected by youtube and being deleted.

 

Can't help with the other questions.

Thanks for the reply KhunBENQ, have seen similar issues before only the filming of the TV screen was not as bad.

I have a complete set of "Fools and Horses" series 1-7 plus Xmas specials all excellent quality with English subtitles.

 

The whole lot is in MP4 and totals 103 GB. I've had them for some time but unfortunately can't remember where they came from   Did not come from YouTube as I only download Torrents.

 

Not much help to you but they should be out there some where, just keep looking
