Hi Definition Streaming video on Dailymotion.com

I was checking my geeky daily news and here is a thing that will make rolling video editors happy (people whine all the time about the bad quality of actual streaming videos).

Stage6 allready offers streaming videos in HD (+ download of the video), but here is the thing : Stage6 need an extra codec (people are lazy to install it, their favourite admin will kill them if they do, or worse you don’t have install rights if you’re still a student) ; Stage6 needs a Divx / mp3 encoded video to accept the upload, plus last but not least: the video is only streamed in HD (results: it takes hours to have a global preview of the video).. Wet explosive.

So here is the good news : dailymotion.com is starting to support HD videos (not sure if the upload is allready active).

Here are the awesome things about the dailymotion.com HD videos:

  • no need to install anything that you don’t allready have, the flash plugin now support the H.264 codec (HD): just accept the update that your browser may ask
  • The streaming video is displayed at a normal size, but you can enlarge it (to enjoy HD) with this button :
  • You can switch between a normal / HD Stream while reading the video, without having the video to reload (awesome to find a moment on the video without having to wait the stream): click on

Here is an HD sample (video game from Codemasters):

More on dailymotion.com/hd/), we’re hopefully getting rolling HD streaming videos soon ^^

The video may not load if you don’t have enough bandwith or if you have a old version of the flash plugin.
