HD Video File Format

File Description

HD Video, Officially it is video with a resolution of 1280×720 (720p) or 1920×1080 (1080i or 1080p). All of the formats are widescreen 16:9 and display between 24 and 60 frames per second. The scanning is either progressive (every frame the entire picture is drawn) or interlace (only for 1080 where every other frame has half the lines redrawn).

The problem is that the HD definition only takes into consideration the frame rate, resolution and interlacing. It does not take into consideration bitrate. So technically any 720P, 1080i or 1080p video is HD, even though it might look like shit. Now that sounds like it should be a high-quality picture and in fact it should be. However when that video is then processed for online or other use it might not be as high due to the post-processing.
