Video sharing site Dailymotion has launched a new video player featuring higher quality pictures and sound.
The company said the new Dailymotion HQ video player provides a better web video and audio experience without requiring any additional bandwidth.
The new Dailymotion HQ video player has been built based on the H.264 codec with audio using AAC at 96 kbps.
Users with extra bandwidth can also access HD-quality video, which is available for specific video content.
Dailymotion HQ uses higher video quality (512-by-384-pixels) at up to 30 frames per second (fps). It requires a broadband connection, Flash Player 9 and a computer with a dual-core processor.
As a result, users will enjoy significantly sharper, smoother video streaming on all Dailymotion videos.
Users can experience the new Dailymotion HQ player for themselves at www.Dailymotion.com/HQ, where they can simply select a video from the group and view a side-by-side comparison of standard quality versus the new Dailymotion HQ.
"The debut of Dailymotion HQ video reinforces our commitment to delivering the best content and the most advanced technology to our audience and our contributors around the world,” said Mark Zaleski, CEO of Dailymotion. “Our superior playback capabilities have been a critical part of our rapid growth and success, and we pledge to continuously bring more enhancements and features to the site in order to give the best experience to our viewers, partners and advertisers.”
