Transition Suggestion: 1x1 grid (IE Split Screen)

serato.com <- link to feature suggestion
I know I never go into feature suggestions, so i figured Id post it here where it was relevant.

basically i can never get 2 videos, in full resolution on the screen at once.
(I know we can do 4)

*************************************************
rather than 4 squares. (2x grid)

just the left side & right side of the screen divided in 1/2.
with the image resized to fit the screen

for me, this would be ideal.
I do alot of acapellas over instr loops ect ect ect and one video has to play
2nd fiddle to the other, or if you use a transition that blends you really cant see what
video your watching...its still one or the other.
and of course the grids are good, but even the 2x2 grid is a little small.

just left channel on the left side
right channel on the right

The videos would look stretched though.

With the 4x4 split, you can change the width and height accordingly, but with the height would stay the same, but the width would change making the image looked stretched.

This is just my opinion and not a fact.

Sorry, you could change the height, but you would have huge black borders on top and bottom.
with 4x4 you can take up all the screen real estate, with 2x2 I don't believe you can without stretching.

I think on the particular screens I happen to play on you would have to have some sort
of off set with a border (top and bottom) and minimal stretching (but nothing redic)
our screens are all pretty much wide, except the projection.

and I do pretty much everything 640/480 so unless its one of those ones that
comes letterboxed

something like this Id be thrilled with....
(Obviously a photoshop...but i didnt change the parameters too much on the
original images...)

wouldn't this be a 1x2 grid?

I would use it.
