Title: YouTube High Definition or almost
Post by: PcMan on May 05, 2008, 09:05:45 PM

YouTube High Definition or almost  or better then 320x240

www.squidoo.com/youtubehd

you can now view youtube videos in 640x480 or the highest the video was uploaded up to 640x480
this is standard TV size or definition. there are other websites that offer "real HDTV" video like
Veoh and    awesome the best so far is www.vimeo.com/hd supports HD in 1280x720



1. On your YouTube Account page,
2. click on Video Playback Quality and you're now able to choose
"always show me higher quality when available" or
"I have a slow connection.
Never play higher-quality video" which is set by default.

So if you want to turn on HD, you must set "I have a fast connection. Always play higher-quality video when it's available" but only if you have a fast internet connection, otherwise you might find that videos don't play as quickly or smoothly.

This is one of my new favorite videos and it just so happens to be in HD on yotube. Disclaimer for anyone under 13 really.


And of course this is just classic.
