I am trying to determine HD from non-Hd online. Is this video normal quality or HD quality? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI_Hbed0kfg
Is this HD?

That footage may have been originated in HD, but the quality that you're watching it on youtube does not rise to the size or quality of HD. It could be the compression that youtube uses. I'm not sold on the whole 16:9 switch at youtube. I think it's a good thing, but vimeo seems to have found the proper balance between quality and compression.
Is this Hd? http://www.vimeo.com/2404201
yes, in the sense that it has a resolution of 1280x720
HD means nothing in terms of quality, I can take a 100x100 video and make it HD, doesn't make it a good quality.

adding &fmt=22 to the end does pull up a higher quality video, however it looks like its from an interlaced SD source. It doesn't get close to resolving 720lines at all.

You have got to admit though, HDV looks pretty good compared to DV... Higher Definition may be a good term? LOL
I am wanting to embed 30 sec short video segments at a time via a website. Would you guys recommend I use streaming video or progressive download. Taking into account I live in NZ where broadband is not as fast as other countries. Hence the file size can't be too large or the majority of people wanting to watch the video will have to wait for it to buffer
i just tested both of 'em, and youtube blows the doors off of vimeo.
youtube is vbr, and even with that, it encodes at ~25% higher bitrate than what vimeo encodes at, when you compare the overall file sizes... youtube does 30p, vimeo is limited to 24p.
i basically uploaded the same 12Mbps 720p file to both services, then pulled encoded files out of the firefox cache, more or less.
blow this up full screen on your computer monitor... it's only hf11 footage, which barely resolves 720p to begin with, lol, but it'll give you an idea of what this youtube high-def can do:

I went full screen with the clip and it is HD, highly compressed and poor quality, but its better than SD.
I recently uploaded HD to facebook and it blows away youtube and vimeo.
yeh mate,
I didn't realise you have to use HD video tapes in and HD camera, hence why quality was so bad, I'm getting better quality now as demonstated here www.flashwebsitez.com/stream6.html

Not true, if we're talking about HDV then you can use any brand of tape to record HD, not just HD tapes.
