Youtube just went Widescreen.

[Mentalist]

Awesome. About time. :yes:

 

[FBI parte due]

I used to hate widescreen monitors, but now I have become ONE OF THEM.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Doesn't really make a difference since 99.99% of the videos now just have black bars down the side (but I assume more widescreen vids will be uploaded now?)

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Exactly, I don't get the point at all. It'd be make much more sense just to have an adaptive frame depending on the resolution. Now every video has black bar on each side, which doesn't look so bad with dark videos, but if it's a video that has a white background then it looks quite unsightly.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Adaptive frame, YES. Patent it!

 

[curiousa2z]

we will witness that he thought of it here first!

MICHAEL JACKSON JUST WENT WIDESCREEN

 

[Conchaga]

OMGWTFBBQJACKSON!

 

[CaptainWacky]

His gloved hand is big.

 

[curiousa2z]

and his legs are curiously shorter than they were a few years ago.
ANOTHER surgical alteration?!

WHEN WILL IT STOP, MICHAEL?!!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Not until you get enough.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I've slowly turned widescreen over the years as well.

I've slowly turned widescreen over the years as well.

Bet you're a higher quality widescreen than me though.

 

[The Tomtrek]

It should be noted that YouTube has also gone goddamn HD!

[CaptainWacky]

I thought it already had, but that's like SUPER HD.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Before it just had "high quality", but now it will let you do proper 720p videos.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I see. *masturbates*

 

[Fuddlemiff]

If only my computer wasn't so jittery about playing really high quality video in my browser.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Jittery eskimo fire-fighter.
