YouTube has been distancing itself from its roots of grainy webcam footage of unknown people playing their guitar poorly in the last year. In their newest effort, they're stepping their HD content up from 720p to 1080p.
As the former hallmark of poor quality internet video, YouTube has been making an increasing effort to create a more valuable service. In recent months, the company has added a fairly sizable library of legitimate television and movie streams, and even letting viewers watch at a 720p resolution. Now, according to an announcement in the YouTube blog, the company is testing out streaming of 1080p content.
While most videos currently on the site won’t see a great deal of benefit, as relatively few users have 1080p videos to upload, the most likely benefit is to commercial applications. If users have the option to watch a streaming film on Netflix, Hulu or YouTube, many will be swayed towards the higher video quality and zero cost of entry.
