I really don't mind vertical video. Makes sense when I'm watching on my phone or tablet. Maybe youtube should get with the times already and optimize for alternate aspect ratios.
The only thing that sucks is when someone switches orientation part way through the video and you have to watch most of the video sideways.

- yep vertical is quite refreshing sometimes when viewed on phone. great for selfies!fadein11
- you mean, youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, standard television sets, movie theaters, projection screens,
Miguex - makes sense when watching on your phone or tablet? just turn your device and watch the video in proper landscape.iCanHazQBN

Because people hold their phones vertically. Shooting vertical makes more sense to people. Who wants to hold their phone and watch a tiny widescreen vid on it. Vertical fits better obviously.
- what?? turn your phone landscape, then you see the video take up the whole screen.iCanHazQBN
- Just saying dude, people dont shoot vids like that with their phones. Doesnt make logical sense to them.CygnusZero4

phones really shouldn't let you record vertical

Miguex did you have as much of a hard time when we switched from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio for TV? Like whoa, I don't need that extra side space.
Or how about this to melt your brain... why aren't screens round (and photographs as well) lenses are circular and capture in that manner?
- because human vision is horizontal. also, pixel matrices are necessarily rectangular.detritus

I think phones should keep recording in horizontal mode even when holding it vertically. your camera crops so much information with it records vertically
