YouTube goes W -- I -- D -- E -- R
I know I'm a few days late on this but -- Wow! -- I'm enjoying YouTube's new, wider format. It's easier on my eyes, and, to me, the quality looks a bit better. But, not everyone is delighted. Some people think the quality isn't any better, and they don't like it when a smaller video has large black spaces to the left and right because it can't fit the space.
Whatever. It's an improvement. Instead of posting a video, I'm giving you this link for a cat on a Roomba to see for yourself (I can't do it justice in our format. You need to be on the Web site itself to appreciate the new look.)
Do you think this is an upgrade?

Ha. I love that cat video. And it does look better wider like that.

Yeah, it's about time. Even though they made the change it was up to us users to figure out the new format settings for a good HQ upload. (typical) I spent several hours fiddling around to get it right. So, in an effort to help... here are the ones I used to upload my "cooking in a pith" video.
