High Definition (HD) video is taking its place in our TV broadcasts, and soon our DVD formats. Standard Definition will still be around for plenty of time due to our love for watching historical and archived material (and networks that save money running repeats).
But until Internet bandwidth demands catch up to the requirements of high quality video, we’ll have to get used to Low Definition video. Interestingly, most web video these days is equal or better quality to the VCDs we produced in yesteryear when it was too impossible to produce our own DVDs.
