YouTube Goes To Widescreen Player

In a move that should see them grab a large chunk of the HD video and movie trailer hosting business Apple's Quicktime based sites currently enjoy, YouTube has moved to a 960 pixels wide format player for videos shown on their site.

Embedded videos will remain served in the traditional format, probably to retain backward compatibility for all the sites out there currently using them.

I guess this will also give users more reason to click through to the original YouTube video page from site's hosting embedded videos too.
