Vimeo is now supporting High Definition web videos in the resolution of 1280 x 720 !
The resolution of High Definition Videos provided by Vimeo is really referring to HDTV contrary to other video sharing services claiming to provide very soon HD, where they will just propose a quality just above the standard YouTube videos…
HDTV refers to two video formats: 720p and 1080i, corresponding to the number of horizontal lines used to produce the image.
Vimeo presents HD in the 720p format, which is the exact same resolution (1280×720) used by major broadcast networks, at 24 frames per second.
To experiment this impressive quality you must connect to Vimeo HD Channel.
With Vimeo, you can already upload High Definition videos (with a weekly quota of 500MB for now) with a resolution of 1280×720 or better ! Vimeo servers will first make a standard quality version, then a little later your video will appear in HD.
I think there is no need to test or explain the main idea of this video sharing website. Its name speaks for itself…As you can guess, StupidVideos.com objectives are to share and stream dumbest videos you can find on the Internet…which is not a big challenge, since this probably 50% of videos spread on the whole Internet…
To give you an overall idea of the intellectual level of videos you can find, simply watch the following screenshots:
Nevertheless, if you think you have THE dumbest video of the year, don’t lose a minute and publish it on StupidVideos.com, because you could win $ 25000 …
Commercials published in video sharing web sites or streamed in blogs is really the new trend on the new Internet 2.0… Here comes a brand new Web TV that is streaming commercials only !
The interface is a pure beauty, sober and very user friendly…fully developed in Flash…
I have been surprised by a very nice option offered by FireBrand: you can download the commercial you are watching in you preferred video file format ! This is not usual, since most WebTV’s allow streaming only…
Don’t waste your time if you are fond of marketing and commercials ! Go test FireBrand !
After watching a video on a web site, you may want to save the video file into your local disk for playing it offline in the future. If the video file is stored in your web browser cache, VideoCacheView can help you to extract the video file from the cache and save it for watching it in the future.
VideoCacheView automatically scans the entire cache of Internet Explorer and Mozilla-based Web browsers (including Firefox) and finds all video files that are currently stored in it. It allows you to easily copy the cached video files into another folder for playing/watching them in the future. If you have a movie player that is configured to play flv files, it also allows you to play the video directly from your web browser cache.
