YOUTUBE GOES WIDESCREEN

Noticed yesterday that the screen of youtube became wider. From 4:3 ratio, it was now expanded. By searching the net, indeed they change their screen to widescreen aspect ratio. It can support professional content owners to the delight of us, the subscriber and audience.

Here’s the announcement from YouTube:

Over the years we’ve heard a lot of feedback from you about what you’d like to change about YouTube, and the size of our video player is always top of mind. That’s why today we’re excited to announce a bigger YouTube player.

We’re expanding the width of the page to 960 pixels to better reflect the quality of the videos you create and the screens that you use to watch them. This new, wider player is in a widescreen aspect ratio which we hope will provide you with a cleaner, more powerful viewing experience. And don’t worry, your 4:3 aspect ratio videos will play just fine in this new player.

With it`s 16:9 screen aspect ratio, we expect more clear and better videos to watch.

But for now, expect the pillar box, the black thing when you play 4:3 aspect videos. Konting tyaga lang, we could expect all videos @ youtube getting to 16:9 video aspect.

So much for now . Godbless and Goodnight. It`s 1130pm.
