Test of Embedded High Definition Video from YouTube at 1920 x 1080 Pixels

Here above is a 3-minute excerpted sample of the first lecture in this series, A Pure and Remote View, presented in full high definition with 2 1/2 times the pixel resolution of the material on the rest of the site.  This video is streamed from YouTube as an embedded video link.

This movie file was originally compressed using the codec H264 using Compressor’s high quality multi-pass setting for the video and  44.1 kHz AAC variable bit rate audio encoded to a target of 64 kbps.  It was then uploaded to YouTube and converted to their current (10 September 2010) video codec.
The total bit rate of the original video and audio was 5160 kbps.  The original is viewable and fully downloadable using Quicktime Pro here.

Please note that if your computer monitor resolution is not at least 1920 by 1080 pixels, you will not be able to watch this clip in full at its proper resolution.  However, you may be able to size your bowser window to stretch beyond the edges of your screen and thus be able to observe portions of the video at its native resolution.
