In July 2010, YouTube officially announced that it had launched a range of HD videos in the new YouTube 4K video format, which is a standard resolution for films that measures 4096x3072 pixels. This resolution is too large for watching on your Mac or iPad. So if you'd like to download and store the YouTube 4K videos on Mac or iPad, you need to convert YouTube 4K video to smaller HD video resolution first.
What is the YouTube 4K video format?
The YouTube 4K video format is a next generation standard for rendering very high quality HD video for digital cinema applications. Essentially, this YouTube 4K resolution is twice as powerful as the current 2K HD YouTube video format in digital cinemas today. The advantage of YouTube 4K HD video, aside from the even crisper detail, is that it can offer better fast-action and larger projection surface visibility.
