I don't get all this HD Flash stuff, which has become suddenly special. Blip.tv have been doing 720p videos for the last 2 plus years. Although to be fair when I first posted one, it didn't support Widescreen correctly.

Don't believe me, check out the Raw Mpeg4s. http://blip.tv/file/get/Cubicgarden-SANY0001975.MP4 - HD http://blip.tv/file/get/Cubicgarden-SANY0001975.flv - Flash HD http://blip.tv/file/get/Cubicgarden-SANY0001975.mov - SD Ian Forrester This e-mail is: [x] private; [] ask first; [] bloggable Senior Producer, BBC Backstage Room 1044, BBC Manchester BH, Oxford Road, M60 1SJ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: +44 (0)2080083965 mob: +44 (0)7711913293 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Hatia Sent: 10 July 2008 10:15 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [backstage] BBC iPlayer - why the missing TV channel? It claims to be true 1280x720 @24fps... http://vimeo.com/help/hd ... But wait, it can't really be HD... can it? Yes! It's real, true, actual high definition. No tricks. Some other sites (we won't name names) and even a few major media producers have been offering low resolution video as "HD" just because it's slightly higher than the quality typically seen on video sharing web sites, hoping you won't notice. Don't be fooled, Vimeo HD is true 1280×720, up to 24fps. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Jolly Sent: 09 July 2008 21:20 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [backstage] BBC iPlayer - why the missing TV channel?

The video quality is better than the streaming iPlayer service (I don't have a Windows PC handy to try the iPlayer download service, which is higher quality), but calling it "HD" is a bit of a cheek.
