Thats all we need
From next week you
will be able to watch video footage of kids falling over, fat people running
into trees and amusing cats falling off shelves in glorious high definition.
YouTube says starting next week it will support the same
high-resolution video that can now be seen on flat screen TVs. Google
will support video playback in the full
high-definition format known as 1080p, upgrading from the current 720p.
A YouTube spokesman said the company is not worried about
infrastructure problems or higher costs associated with supporting
bulkier
files.
Videos will still have a 10-minute limit, although the
maximum file size will likely get a boost from 2 gigabytes. Videos that had already been uploaded at 1080p will be
automatically re-encoded to play back at the higher resolution.
