It is true that such quality video contents can only recorded from 4K camcorders which many of us might not have .This is not only concern as certain users may not have the required Bandwidth to issue playback of such content or may not have a high performance system to view such a content .

Along with the above scheme Youtube will also be providing partners grants where it will be paying different production companies with grants for producing high quality video content.
