Youtube now supports widescreen videos. If you are regular at YouTube you will notice that several vidoes in the Favourites section are now WideScreen. Youtube holds its real value in the database but it sure needs to innovate. Probably a step in the right direction – from 4:3 to 16:9. Cheers

Billed as the biggest change in the way viewers watch television in 40 years, the BBC has launched an online service that allows people to download many programmes from the last week.
BBC Director General Mark Thompson says the arrival of the “on-demand” iPlayer is as important as the first colour broadcasts in the 1960s.
Viewers can choose from 400 hours of programmes, between 60 and 70 per cent of the total TV output, including hit shows such as EastEnders, Doctor Who and Planet Earth.
“Our vision is for BBC iPlayer to become a universal service available not just over the internet, but also on cable and other TV platforms, and eventually on mobiles and smart handheld devices,” said the BBC’s Ashley Highfield, director of future media and technology.
The popularity of online television and video is growing. Videos on YouTube, the video sharing site, now account for 10 per cent of all traffic on the internet, according to analysts Ellacoya Networks. In just one day, YouTube sends the data equivalent of 75 billion emails.
Hitwise, which monitors internet searches, said visitor levels to YouTube have grown by 70 per cent since January and search engine Google thought the site had such massive potential it agreed to pay $1.65 billion for it last year – despite it having never made a penny of profit at the time.
Thousands of fresh videos arrive on the sites every day, courtesy of the millions of people around the world willing to spend their time uploading videos for others to watch.

Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube, has hinted that his site will be coming to cell phones. Chen was speaking at a forum in Taipei, Taiwan when he told the crowd he expected much of the world to have access to YouTube on their mobile phones by next year.
Chen explained that the brevity of YouTube videos is perfect for commuters. He estimated that between 30 and 60 seconds is the ideal length for subway or bus rides while commuter train riders would digest up to 10 minute clips.
Chen was born in Taiwan in 1978 and emigrated to the U.S. with his family at the age of eight. He set up the video-sharing Web site in San Mateo, Calif., with colleague Chad Hurley in 2005 when they found their video files too large to e-mail to others.
Within a year of launch, they sold the Web site to Google for $1.65 billion.

Reuters reports that Google’s YouTube is ready to begin testing their video fingerprinting tool on Time Warner and Walt Disney video content.
YouTube has also been testing technology to help identify the audio tracks of video clips with major record labels using technology provided by privately held Audible Magic as early as the first two months of 2007, the company said.
These tools will be made available to all content owners later this year, YouTube executives said on Monday.
YouTube executive Chris Maxcy is reported to have said that the tool would be tested in a month’s time.
Breach of copyright has been an ongoing problem for YouTube, and in March, the media company Viacom launched a lawsuit against YouTube for $1bn.
