I don't have video for now so I can't test it myself. After all, "HD is avalable" would be notify to viewers.

Thanks td_ref,

I'm still not sure I understand youku, I was told that the HD videos posted on youku come from Chinese media sources (TV stations, advertisers, etc.) and I have not been able to find examples of regular users that can upload a 960X720 video.

What is more interesting, is the bizarre way youku is referring to HD.

600X480 and 960X720 = WTF is that shit. Why are they sticking with a 4:3 aspect ratio ???

HD = 1080p or 1920X1080 pixels ----- If they want to go smaller, it should be something like 1280X720 or 960X540 to keep things in a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Anyhow... regardless of what standards they have, I can create a very small 960X720 version of a video, but I don't think it will maintain its resolution when it gets uploaded to youku. I would love to be wrong about it.

Thanks for trying to help, I really appreciate it!

Cheers!
