YouTube going high-definition video

High-definition video is coming to YouTube.

SAN FRANCISCO: High-definition video is coming to YouTube.

The Google-owned online video sharing website said Thursday that it will begin supporting snippets shot in formats as graphics rich as 1080 pixels next week, a resolution level used in high-definition televisions.

"As resolution of consumer cameras increases, we want to make sure YouTube is the best home on the web to showcase your content," YouTube software engineer Billy Biggs said in a blog post.

"Have an HD camera? We would love to see your awesome 1080p videos! Be creative and choose subjects that really show off the beauty of your camera."

YouTube will highlight top HD video snippets on its homepage.
