What is the future of video on the web?

DannyCox · 09-24-2008

I did some WMV videos at 1280X720 along with 960X540 and 720X400 to gauge what people would download. Most grabbed the 960X540 with very few actually doing the 1280 wide version. When we asked members why they chose what they did, the common answer was that most users are using browsers set at 1024 pixels wide and that the 1280 was just too big.

That will change in the future as it did with the screen width progression of 640 to 800 to 1024. But people tend to keep screen resolution the same as how it was when they got their PCs. I am considering doing 1280X720 versions, just so they are their for the future. But for the present, I'll make sure I keep up the 960X540 version.
