Does YouTube Downloader support YouTubes new “4K” (HD 4096p) video format?

YouTube announced in July 2010 that they now support the HD 4096p video format. However, there are very few videos currently available at this extremely high definition format given the specialized cameras required. In addition, HD 4096p video files are several times larger than other HD video files which means they will take several times longer to download. YouTube Downloader does not currently support downloading videos in HD 4096p format, and will download any HD 4096p videos in HD 1080p format. We will continue to monitor the growth of “4K” videos and likely add support in a future release. If you would like to see this feature implemented, please let us know using the Support form and include the URL of the video you’d like to download.
