You Tube, the most popular online video sharing service is finally pushing through with its launching of an optional High Definition or HD video for its site. The move came after a quite lengthy time of experimentation. It recently said that it is going to expand and upgrade its video player online to a HD widescreen which has a 16:9 aspect ratio. The new page is wider with 960 pixels. This comes as a very big improvement over its original video standard 4:3 aspect ratio. This was done to keep up with the 16:9 contents being shared. Now the old 4:3 videos are not quite blending in with the new player. A lot of its users are complaining about the black bars that are on the player side. A lot of them are annoyed with it. And rumors has it, that Google is planning to monetize the little black bars. I do HOPE NOT!
