At Which Resolution Does Netflix And YouTube Run At?

[LovesJapanManga]

I know when you view YouTube Video, it always show "HQ" icon on top upper right corner. But I was wondering at what resolution that is? That goes for Netflix as well.

By the way, speaking of video services, when should we expect Hulu Plus App to be up and running? Since they put in the dialogue box, notifying that this service is currently unavailable at this time and they are working very hard to bring it in soon. Again, that applies the question for Hulu Plus as well- At which resolution does it run as well?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

720p for YouTube. The Netflix HD app is only for the Razr, I believe. If that becomes available to us, it will run in 720p as well.

A few apps and services aren't available for Rezound (or Nexus). There's usually no set time in which they're set to become compatible, so everyone just has to sit tight and hope it's soon.
As to the resolution, I'm assuming it'll run in 480p, but don't quote me on that. Only a handful of phones are HD capable in the first place.

Are you sure? I'm sure that upgrade would've been noted in the apps changelog at some point. I could be wrong but I don't believe the Youtubes mobile app supports 720p on mobile devices, as yet. I think it still maxes out @ 480p right now. Although, Youtube on a web browser, on the other hand, does support HD streaming in 720p res. Mobile quality looks nothing like the browser when viewing in 720p.

I was assuming he meant the website. I don't know why anyone would choose the app when the actual website is already bare bones in the first place.

One look at their comments page, I wonder why anyone uses the mobile version, anymore.

One look at the hosted videos and I wonder why anyone uses Youtube anymore.

Quick tip for HD viewing on YouTube on the Rezound - use the Dolphin HD browser and in the settings, let it be seen/recognized as an iPad.

Then when you go to YouTube, it'll appear as the mobile site, but videos are definitely in 720p quality. (Just do a search on 'HD Videos' and see)

The YouTube app from the market definitely is not HD, even though it says 'HQ' when running videos. Huge difference.

There are some HD versions of Netflix floating around. Here's the one I have running on my Galaxy Nexus.

Tried this and it makes a HUGE difference. Thanks for the tip!

The YouTube app actually works for me better than the browser. I bought my single core HTC inspire and after o updated to the gingerbread update performance isn't that great due to sense. I have sense 3.5 coredroid and even with the Sony bravoa engine implanted for better HD viewing it still lags on my phone. This is why I use the app and its a lot easier for me to view my subs.

Ouch, rickrolled.

YouTube app on galaxy nexus support HD resolution videos just fine (it even says hd). Other phones its just HQ 480p

If the Youtube looks better through the internet rather than the App, could the same not be done with Netflix. Would netflix be HD if viewed through a browser? I don't have netflix yet, but I am planning to get it as soon as i can view it in HD on my Rezound. That's half the reason i wanted a 4g phone. For streaming hd Movies for phone viewing and TV viewing.

I could not get the HD netflix App to work on my phone, but perhaps it is because i flashed the first ics leak, and that isnt compatible. Not sure.

The YouTube app on the Rezound definitely supports 720p HD...However you can only access it over WiFi, switching from 3g to WiFi changes the HQ to HD(maybe 4g too but I don't get 4g in my area)
