Alizee in HD

[Just a Guest]

The 1 to 1 pixel presentation of "YouPoop HD" is 850x480.
That is less resolution in vertcal way than native pal.
And with that horrible compression scheme you don't want to watch that full screen do you?
So it is far from HD.
Without doubt it's a nice extra, but it is pretentious to call it HD.
That was my point basically.

Stick with the native sized (PAL) files.
Any resolution change + re-encode will degrade the quality. Allways.

Here you can find heaps of video's in mostly the best available quality.

Technically 850x480 is HD. They call it 480P but that is the lower resolution HD. According to Youtube their HD videos are always displayed in 720P (1280x720) and not 480P:

^^They even give you tips on how to best encode and to format your videos so you could get the best of 720P. That doesn't necessarily mean the all their HD 720P are actually full blown 720P, it depends on how well the individual did their encoding, whether it is true HD to begin with, etc. etc. as I mentioned before. However, if you do look at videos that was in HD to begin with then you can see that it in fact Youtube does in fact display their videos in 720P. For example, the professionally done and encoded movie trailers released by the movie studios on Youtube are native 720P. An example is the Terminator Salvation trailer in HD (which still looks like HD in fullscreen):



Point is I don't know any of any other sites that have a significant number of Alizee videos in true HD or even have upconverted ones that you could stream it directly. Their maybe other sites but I doubt they have the large collection of HD and upconverted videos of Alizee other than Youtube.

This is my small collection of HD videos. I don't think any of them are in native resolution but the quality is superb nevertheless. It really makes a difference.
