- Updated the theater to the latest version of the JW Player. Browser and system detection are now supported, so the player will automatically load the proper module for whatever you're viewing the site on. This means you can now view the player on basically ANY device. Computers with Flash get the regular flash theater, devices with HTML5 (like iPhones, iPads, etc) will load the videos in their own way, and devices with neither will just get a download link.
- Removed the HD theater (it was just an extra click to start the video and you can get the same effect by clicking full-screen)
- Standardized the theater to be 816 pixels wide
