Flickr video goes HD, all members now allowed to upload videos
2 great things happen on Flickr today. First, all members including non-Pro members can now upload videos (although it still limited to 2 videos permonth). Remember, only 90 seconds and below videos are allowed. And secondly, Pro members will have better HD video quality.
As starter, PRO members can watch the HD videos from this group, which membership is only opened to Flickr staff.
To start uploading video, don’t forget to download the new Flickr Uploader 3.1.4.
Sadly, due to some problem with ISP, I can’t really enjoy the HD video, at least until 5th of March.
Since Nov last year, Facebook has allowing its members to upload video as well, so this might be the asnwer from Flickr, although its little bit late.
I think HD is a bit early but its time will come. Most of us still have SD equipment and are quite happy to continue to work with it. After all my equipment still cost a lot of money and I am not ready to through it out.
HD still has a bandwidth limitation that over time will be solved. In the mean time I am happy with SD on the web.
