RSS FeedsYouTube will be offering high-resolution content
Mar 13, 2008
Personally it doesn’t make a big difference because the Internet connection on my side or at least the package that I use, is so slow that even now it takes ages to buffer the lowest quality videos. It is a real put off whenever I’m trying to see a video on YouTube. I wonder how much time my connection will take to buffer high-resolution YouTube videos.
You can already watch the high-resolution versions of some existing videos by adding &fmt=6 to the URL of the video. Of course for this to work the high-resolution version of the video should exist.
Will it increase the popularity of YouTube? I think it is already enough popular. Yes, you will be able to watch quality video content with greater regularity. Recently my wife and I watched a complete movie (an old Hindi classic from the 50s); it would have been better if the video was clearer.
YouTube showing high resolution content doesn’t or shouldn’t mean that it will take longer to upload files to YouTube. I think usually the quality is quite fair when you upload the video; it gets blurry when it is converted to the YouTube format or the FLV format.
Although I don’t have much time to watch videos these days but yes given a better connection and higher resolution I would prefer to spend some extra time at YouTube watching the videos that I really want to watch.
Read/Write Web suggests that YouTube might be collaborating with Hulu to give its users a better quality video experience. Sadly Hulu content is not available from my side of the world.

Yeah!
That’d be great, I think. It’s most annoying to watch the jerking motions and sound quality.
I’m in the U.S., with high-speed, so for me it would be a blessing. For other folks around the world, without high speed, I’m sure it’s a real drag.
Ciao,
