HD Standards

[Cjlcooter]

actually, 1920 x 1080 active pixels (horizontal x vertical) would be True HD in 1080P, 720P, and 1080i HD resolutions.

I know that : ) i said "HD Standards" i never said it was true HD 1080p but youtube can only accept HD Standards and only 720p however to be able to get the HD option in youtube you need to meet certain standards. please see what they are below


YouTube has just announced that users now have the option of watching some videos in 720p HD. These streams are available on certain videos, depending on the source file uploaded to YouTube.

The ability to upload higher quality videos means improved sharpness and visual clarity for some YouTube videos. It's very noticeable in videos that contain text or fast movement and also in full-screen mode.

A few weeks back, we posted news about the fact that Youtube was testing HD (high-definition) video playback.
Shortly after that, Youtube officially launched HD video playback on their site.
When it was first launched, videos in HD would play within the new widescreen 16:9 default player on Youtube.
Now, when you choose the HD playback, the layout of the page is modified to display a much larger video player that expands the width of the page.

The new video size is a huge 855x480 pixels (actual resolution is 1280×720) and the player is 855x505 pixels. Apparently this change was made back on December 5, but some users are just now seeing the update.

So, How do you Upload Videos in HD to Youtube?

For the highest quality, YouTube now recommends the following setting for your video:

* MPEG4 (DivX, Xvid, H.264) format
* 1280×720 resolution
* 128k Mono or 320k Stereo MP3/AAC audio
* 24,25 or 30 frames per second
* Up to 1GB file size and 10 min. duration

YouTube accepts a wide range of video file formats such as .WMV, .AVI and .MOV but you may get the best results from converting your file to MPEG4 video with MP3 audio.

I thought 1,280x720 is the HD standard for 720p, whereas 1920 x 1080 would be for 1080i and 1080P.

we have 2 Sony EX3 HD Camera's, 4 months old... part of my new production company. Amazing Camera's for the price. The SXS Cards are really expensive, but the image you get is jaw dropping.

Yes i think we can all learn from each other regarding HD. I'm knee deep in it with work now and i still learn things every day.

I sent Mike an email about a possible HD Area/Section instead of us going pff topic with interesting discussions like this.

HD is here and it's only a matter of time before Blu-Ray starts circulating ..... once the price drops on blank media that is...lmao

thats good news hopefully they can open up a HD part in the forum, yeah i know some HD stuff (some) but not lots because right now my laptop is from 2004 and it cannot handle HD stuff but everything i do have in HD i play on my PS3
