YouTube HD is now Available - Watch it here.

Saw some examples of YouTube HD tonight available online on their website... It is a new feature test available only for some videos. The normal YouTube resolution (native window size) is 320 x 240 pixels and the new YouTube HD resolution is 448 x 336 (Note: our software can do 1280 x 624 or more in a similar file size to the YouTube new videos being tested).

Look for this newly added YouTube switch on some videos "Watch this video in higher quality" to try out the new improved YouTube HD:

To see and try the new 'higher quality' switch out for yourself click HERE to be directed to a YouTube video on a dog that skateboards.

Here is what the same new YouTube HD test video looks like compared to the regular YouTube we all know embedded in a website...

My feedback is below to the person who clearly knows YouTube HD's current plans for making this available as well as the YouTube HD test strategies:

"Thank you for the interesting and great information on what is going on on the inside. Curious how you know such things and so much ;) Can you share? If so let’s talk.

We find your blog interesting reading. The better quality of the new HD YouTube is welcome in a world where 20% of the HTTP traffic is said to be YouTube videos.

Want to let you know better than the ‘new’ YouTube HD videos online can be watched by clicking on the upper right menu on our website, designavs.com. To see a computer 1080p example on your machine right now click on ‘Spiderman 3′.

The 1080p full screen video there is native 1280 x 624 pixels optimized to play full screen on EXISTING normal notebook computers WITHOUT upgrades including Linux at wi-fi wireless speed and looks great (ten times smaller than the original). 480p is also shown (848 x 436 px) and is sixteen times smaller built for those of us who have old clunkers around to fill up the screen. At similar to the file sizes YouTube uses now, as viewed by checking our temporary files, can do better.

Without our solution original quality HD video at normal connection speeds to watch without delay is not possible. Downloading or waiting for a buffer to fill is a pain and part of why YouTube is so popular today.

Please notice our sound is also way better than YouTube or any others. Current video compression solutions often muffle sound as well as makes it not synchronized to movement /action. Our results not only look the best they sound the best as you will hear when you turn up the speakers if you visit our site.

If anyone knows the decision makers at YouTube have them get in touch with me as can help them after development for seven years and filing our patents. Can enable anyone who wants to distribute HD video online with the best quality in the smallest file sizes. There are millions of existing computers and mobile devices.

Unfortunately, many of the newly touted HD ’solutions’ require new hardware and/or software and often have operating system limitations (examples: Intel, TI, Adobe, Microsoft, …). The big hidden problem is the videos for the new HD ideas of today will only play on a new idea creator’s configuration. What about those of us who want HD on existing machines and ‘old clunkers’? What if someone want to distribute internet advertising to maximize their audience? Smaller files with great look/sound play better today and in the future to make money through bandwidth and storage improvements.

Thank you YouTube for the upgrade to quality in a way it runs on existing machines. Hope to talk about ways of doing things even better.

Glad to answer any questions from anyone. Can prove we are the best anywhere today. For those curious, we are a funded profitable start-up, after just a few weeks officially with our doors open, who sells software and services to those who want to distribute the best HD available anywhere today.

Full-screen HD video online without a computer upgrade is now here at wireless speeds!

Get media to the masses immediately.

Millions can now watch the best quality full-screen HD television-like network programming on their existing computers or phones while save money without upgrade expense. Cable-type 'services' are possible to anyone with an online connection possibly on the other side of the globe. Smaller file sizes improve bandwidth and increase storage to save money and make any system work better now and in the future.

Intel has new chips to enable future systems to display HD streaming video online full-screen in the future, as they are in the business to sell new high-end systems. Having to buy new computers just to see quality HD media costs money - especially if you are a large organization.

To see an example right now of our full-screen full-motion HD video online embedded in our website on your computer over your connection please visit: http://www.designavs.com/. Then use the menu in the upper right. On the menu under 'Spiderman' is same movie trailer as deployed by Sony Pictures, Comcast, YouTube, and MySpace.

What we have works now on the systems of today with the smallest file sizes to reduce storage and bandwidth. It will also make the future systems work better for the same reason. We enable video media in the best quality HD possible to be watched now without delay by the currently installed base of PCs and Apple Mac's without upgrades or plug-ins on any operating system including Linux.

We can input or output any video file format into our video compression transcoding. 'Normal' and 'standard' typical file formats we know work are Flash (.FLV), Microsoft Windows Media Video (.WMV), QuickTime (.MOV), and Audio Video Interleave (.AVI), 3GP, MPEG-4 (MP4), H.264, etc. Something huge goes in and something 10 times or more smaller still great looking comes out the other side. For now we are most often asked to output end-results as Adobe/Macromedia Flash video (.FLV) files as is what most of our customers seem to desire while able to do anything.

We are watching Microsoft Silverlight and Video.Show activities closely as our video compression/transcoding provides the best end results in the smallest files to the Microsoft end-user community as well. We feel the new streaming media channels that can be created are useful to the masses. We can help Silverlight users have the nicest looking video to send around more easily in less bandwidth time and stored in smaller disk space. To write Windows Media Video .WMV file output one needs to be licensed by Microsoft. We are able to input .WMV and output .FLV and there is an example on our upper right menu from the Microsoft HD Content Showcase. We can input .WMV then output a much smaller close-to-original quality .WMV files that look better than anything in the Silverlight world today in full-screen HD without upgrade to hardware or software on existing computer systems. We have the best video compression transcoding available anywhere. Many in the Flash video world have been checking us out and are impressed. Our video compression transcoding will also make the smallest great looking top-quality video for Silverlight/Video.Show environment.

If anyone wants us to compress an example clip we can do it upon request. We have simply the best video compression and transcoding solution on the market.
