1391745 2015-01-12 00:22:00 I use aTubeCatcher which is free . The screenshot shows the options after you paste the URL . It's also good for getting mp3s, or for just getting the sound track of a video . It's particularly good for screen capture

I can't see much use for 4k as a TV display . There's too much detail . You have to move your eyes to take it all in . By then the action has moved on

Of course if you sit at the same distance as an ordinary HD screen, you won't see the detail and you won't have to move your eyes . But that's a bit pointless

I see two uses for 4k -

(1) As a shooting format .

You can make great HD videos by moving a 1920 x 1080 window over a 3840 x 2160 frame

That's the sort of thing GoPro do . I understand they use lens settings in the range 17 - 24 mm (35mm equiv) which is very wide . With their 4k shooting they can stabilise the image and enlarge it at the same time

(2) As "real estate" on a computer screen .

If you have a 4k monitor you can see a much larger chunk of a still image when you're editing it . You don't have to move it around so much . Also, if you are in the habit of using 2 screens (for comparing documents perhaps) you might get them side-by-side on a single 4k screen .

Its free forever AFAIK. You only need to buy the license if you need the extra features it provides - download channels, playlists, subtitles, more than 25 clips.

Thanx for that..
