As the YouTube Blog updated today, folks there announced that at the VidCon 2010 Conference today, YouTube will be bringing support for videos shot in 4K resolutions. To be precise, the 4K video resolution measures to be 4096 x 3072. This makes YouTube the only video streaming service in the world to have support of videos being shot at as low as 360p to as high as 4096p resolutions.

if you want to see how 4K video look then you can check out this playlist witch has many 4k video samples.

A few things to note here are that your screen on a computer probably wont handle that many pixels, so you wont get the full effect. Also, with 4K video being a lot larger than regular YouTube videos you might not be able to stream it as smoothly as you like so you might be best letting it download most of the video first before watching it all.

Previously, matches were time-delayed and available 15 minutes after the game ended. Now fans in US can catch the action as it unfolds in real time as four top ranking teams progress to knockout stage of the semi finals.

The first semi-final match starts this Wednesday, April 21, at 8 p.m. IST in Mumbai followed by the second semi-final on April 22 and the third place match on April 24. The winner will be decided at the final match on April 25 in Mumbai.

Google says the interstitial will show up indefinitely every two weeks until the user upgrades to the most recent version of their browser. Google deems anything below IE7, Firefox 3.0, Chrome 4.0, and Safari 3.0 as an “older browser.” Users on these browsers will still be able to watch YouTube videos, but additional features that Google plans to roll out may not be supported in these older browsers.
