Facebook Offers HD Video Upload

Facebook is turning into a legitimate video hosting and sharing platform with two important developments that are captured in this Robert Scoble video interview:
• It now supports hi-definition videos. I believe they are supported only at modest sizes (in the 400 pixels wide range), while regular videos can go up to 720 pixels wide.
• Facebook is now enabling video embeds on regular websites and blogs. This is a huge step toward Facebook "opening up," as Robert points out. And, yes, it means that you can upload a video to Facebook, embed the video on your outside blog, and your readers will be able to see and play the video without having to sign into Facebook.
Facebook is now getting 100,000 uploads a day, and these moves should make it a much more formidable player in the video hosting space.
Chris Putnam, software engineer at Facebook who runs the video team, points out the technical limitations:
• Your HD video must be no larger than 1 gigabyte
• Your video must be no longer than 20 minutes (for verified members) and 2 minutes (for unverified members). [from SocialMedia.biz
