Yep, Rick, I agree. This industry is all about continual improvement and streaming HD is one step in the right direction. Most online video sites provide multiple quality levels so the visitor can choose what works for them. If you’ve got the bandwidth and computing power why wouldn’t you choose the best quality?

Right now I’m working on how to make video easily available to mobile phone visitors. I’m seeing a lot more traffic from phones and added a switch so people can view this blog easily on a phone. But the video player I use is Flash and that doesn’t work on smart phones. It’s the same kind of issue as streaming HD and I’m sure it will be solved soon.

hi all
In defence of youtube going to 1080p.I think it was agood idea.The comments of peoples computers being to slow,therefore it should be standard res is ridiculous.I mean should the networks have halted color transmission till everyone bought color sets.Or HD transmissions till were all got them, no.I uploaded 2 x1080p videos and the direct response I got with the quality was very nice.

I agree completely.

I just posted a 640 x 360 MP4 video on a decent server and a few people are having trouble with it playing smoothly. So, even 720p is out of the “real” world for some people.

I know there are some programs that truly benefit from 1080p but most of my work doesn’t require that much resolution. Still, I know that we continue to eat up as much resolution and bandwidth as is available so that day will be coming.

There’s no need for this class of resolution at the time being. 1080p eliminates almost all of your audience viewing from laptops, either by lacking the screen resolution or processing power. Buffering time on these videos also harkens back to the days of dial-up.

Stick with 720p until broadband speeds and hardware requirements are up to the task.
