Searching for the Highest Quality Video?

If you host your own videos, maintaining your video quality is not a problem because you control everything from start to finish.

However, if you use video sharing sites to host your videos, it’s a different story. Essentially, you upload your video and then give up total control over what the final product is going to look like. Traditionally, video sharing sites will “dumb down” the quality of your video to save on bandwidth costs (after all, YouTube spends an estimated 1 million dollars a day on bandwidth).

Due to ever-improving software code, video sharing sites are now able to host your videos in high quality formats. Sites like Vimeo,Blip.TV and now Dailymotion are leading the way. Check out this special video on Dailymotion that allows you to see the difference between an HD and standard def picture. The video shows, head to head, the difference between the “standard” web video formats and the new “high quality” formats. This is the best video I’ve seen that illustrates the difference. It’s worth a look and goes a long way in explaining (far better than I can do with words) what these new video formats actually look like.
