ronscuba 4 Posted December 29, 2008 Not full resolution 1080 HD, but still pretty good and about time they caught up with other sites like vimeo. It doesn't default to HD. You have to click "watch in HD" in the lower right hand corner just beneath the video screen. Here is the same video on Vimeo. http://www.vimeo.com/999744 Curious to hear which one people think looks better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pakman 0 Posted December 30, 2008 sweet. Can't access it from the office but out of curiosity what formats does youtube HD accept? And is the max resolution 720p? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mshohman 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Awesome video. Colors are fantastic, and the 720 res rocks. I started to watch some related vids, but they were so disappointing after seeing the clarity of yours. Thanks for sharing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meister 1 Posted December 30, 2008 I can't readily discern a difference. Great clip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Douglas 16 Posted December 31, 2008 Nice film but Youtube just confirms for me that it is a waste, their artifacting is horrible. I've recently discovered Vimeo which does a very credible job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronscuba 4 Posted January 2, 2009 The youtube version does no default to HD. You have to click "watch in HD" in the lower right hand corner just beneath the video screen. For some reason, this option does not show on my work computer ? Maybe something to do with our network firewall. General consensus, even on the Vimeo discussion boards is YT HD is as good if not better than Vimeo HD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BDSC 1 Posted January 3, 2009 Excellent Ron! Excellent! I thought both views were pretty good but I probably lean toward the YT HD. But I can't say there was a big difference. Now you have me wanting to sell what I have and move up to HD and I know where there is a great deal on a unit. I hate you Ron! BDSC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScubaBob 37 Posted January 9, 2009 Besides being able to embed higher quality video as you could in the past with YouTube (as described here), it looks like embedding the HiDef version works as well, as described here. Here is the resulting embed code I've been able to use (you can override the dimensions if you want to make it the true 1280x720): <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qmob1Sn_wjI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&ap=%2526fmt%3D22"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qmob1Sn_wjI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&ap=%2526fmt%3D22" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> As far as discussion boards go, I think new tags would be needed for the HD versions.
