Youtube now supports 4096p(4K) videos

[hoodiboy]

Youtube now also supports 4096p(4K) videos.It was announced in VidCon 2010 conference on July 9,2010.Now Youtube support original video resolution from 360p all the way up to 4096p. To give some perspective on the size of 4K, the ideal screen size for a 4K video is 25 feet; IMAX movies are projected through two 2k resolution projectors.

Because 4K represents the highest quality of video available, there are a few limitations that you should be aware of. First off, video cameras that shoot in 4K aren’t cheap, and projectors that show videos in 4K are typically the size of a small refrigerator. And, as we mentioned, watching these videos on YouTube will require super-fast broadband.

One more thing. Even the so-called HD videos of 720p are mostly fake on youtube.
Only the resolution is 720p but the original videos often look like they are upscaled from a QVGA video.

YouTube only supports:
360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p.

480p is 720x480 pixels. So, YouTube has scaled your video to fit this.

720/576=1.25 and 600/480=1.25.

^^ nice explanation

BTw, regarding to 4096p ( 3072 × 1096 OMG ! ) videos I've not seen any - if any body could post a video link that would be great - will download and watch as seeing it live would not be a great experience as it will require a lot of bandwidth and time.
