Flash Video Player Soon To Do High Definition
That is, of course, dependent on the source of the video. Footage shot on your cell phone isn’t going to look like Discovery HD Theater unless your phone can somehow shoot in high definition. Increased demand for high definition-capable devices should make more and more manufacturers include an HD setting as a standard option, so that’s a good thing.
Where can you expect to see improvements in the very near future? The network TV sites. Most of their shows are shot in high definition already, so the switch to the new Flash format shouldn’t require very much heavy lifting at all. My favorite network shows in high definition, on demand and free? Comcast, you’re on thin ice.
