Consumers can now get a free upgrade to Quicktime HD, and if the reel was shot out of an HD camera, they can view full (wide) screen in HD quality.

I am not sure how things work with the PC, but my Mac has software that will import the reel and cut it up. Lowend software all the same, but still something to consider. I took a tutorial on it (shooting, importing, cutting).

Now, I could be aloof to things, but I haven't noticed many pitching the concept. In other words, "CNN.com is now in HD..." Sites like IFilm offering movies in HD.

Thing is, HD from your cable company requires a minimum of around $1200 considering you have to have the HD ready TV. Now the Internet can make it free.

-Do all monitors accept the feed?
-How many players will display too date? I only see Quicktime.

Now, for shooting basic web content, you can buy the camera for around $2600. That camera is expensive, but it shoots professional footage. It is a huge camera. Sony has in the works a mini-HD cam, similar to the ones a lot of us run around with. This will go for $2k (which in my opinion will begin the massive price drop).

Will this effect the web?

Adult? I tend to think not, but might as well throw it in there. Will consumers want to view porn in HD?

Mainstream content? Once you have the players installed, are you going to search out this type of content?

That is what I do on my TV.
