I wonder what this "preparation for Ultra-HD video" is? Mplayer plays the couple of 4K videos I've found just fine on my Chromebook Pixel (well, somewhat slowly, but I presume that's inevitable with the quantity of pixels). I don't see why VLC would be any different. Maybe they're starting to optimise for such content.

Possibly it's a reference to support for the H.265 and VP9 codecs (the successors to H.264 and VP8, respectively), which are targeted towards "Ultra-HD" content. Looking through the change log, though, I couldn't find any references to anything that might be the "preparations".
Would be interesting to hear specifically what it is.
