YouTube is Aiming your Living Room with 1080p Support
The recent addition of HD support on YouTube, actually only boosts 720p as max resolution. Your living room HD flat screen TV, in general needs 1080p (or i) to display acceptable HD video quality.
YouTube says starting next week it will support the same high-resolution video 1080p. This move allows user to hook-up a HDMI cable from a small personal computer to display natively YouTube video (in full screen).
Google engineers state that Google is ready for infrastructure to support larger file upload and streaming.
The lenght of each uploaded video, most likely remains 10 minutes or less but the file size limitation will be get a boost from current 2GB.
Videos that had already been uploaded at 1080p will be automatically re-encoded to play back at the higher resolution.
