YouTube: Now with widescreen | Ahora con pantalla panorámica

A few weeks ago, YouTube premiered its “Watch in high quality” functionality. It was something lots of fans of the video sharing site had been waiting for. Of course, at first we had to login to make use of it. Previously, we had seen sites like Veoh and Metacafe demostrate videos with much better quality (even without having to logging in), and YouTube users were not content. But the almighty Google did not leave its ‘tubers behind. Adding a few numbers, letters and symbols like &fmt=18 at the end of a URL brought bloggers an advantage, even at WordPress ones, to watch videos like they should be seen… in high definition. Just over a week ago, I started resizing the embedded video as well to try to find out an appropriate width and height in posts of about two weeks ago (using something like w=640 and h=480). It worked for me. Users who had a widescreen LCD monitor were the only ones who had that luxury. Thanks to Google, YouTube videos are better than before. Thanks Google!

Hace unas pocas semanas, YouTube estrenó su funcionalidad “Watch in high quality” (Ver con alta calidad). Era algo que muchos fanáticos del sitio de videos compartidos estaban esperando. Claro, primero teníamos que abrir la sesión (o hacer “login”)  para usarlo. Anteriormente, habíamos visto sitios como Veoh y Metacafe que demuestran videos de una calidad mucho mejor (hasta sin tener que abrir la sesión), y los usuarios de YouTube no estaban contentos. Pero el todopoderoso Google no dejó a sus “‘tuberos” detrás. El aumento de unos pocos números, letras y símbolos como &fmt=18 al final de un URL trajo una ventaja más a los “bloggers”, hasta a los de WordPress, de ver videos como deben ser vistos… en alta definición. Hace un poco más de una semana, comencé a cambiar el tamaño de los videos incrustados (“embedded”) también para tratar de buscar un ancho y alto apropiado en las entradas (“posts”) de casi las últimas dos semanas (usando algo como w=640 y h=480). Me funcionó. Los usuarios que tenían un monitor LCD de tamaño ancho o panorámico eran los únicos que tenían ese lujo. Gracias a Google, los videos de YouTube están mejor que antes. ¡Gracias Google!
