As a web video producer who designs many web pages with a Flash player to play HD videos, I need to know the pixel sizes to make a Flash player (or video player) having a width and height in whole pixels that maintains the aspect ratio of an HD video.
Of course, HD video (HDTV) at its maximum is 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels in resolution, but that’s too big to use in a present-day web design. A web designer needs to scale down the video to a smaller size by knowing what sizes can produce an HD video with a width and height that is in whole pixels.
When I searched Google to find a table of web HD video resolutions with whole pixel sizes, it turned up nothing, so I created the table at right. It shows the web HD resolutions that you can scale an HD video to so it has a width and height both in whole pixels.
The smallest HD video sizes at the bottom of the table are suitable for thumbnails of HD videos to display in your web designs.
If you are uploading an HD video to YouTube, they recommend uploading HD video at 1280 pixels by 720 pixels resolution and they will resize the HD video as needed.
But what size will your YouTube HD video be displayed at on YouTube?
In December, 2009 in preparing for HD Video, YouTube changed the default player window on a YouTube page to 640 pixels by 360 pixels, which is an HD video resolution ratio. But under that screen size is a link to “watch in HD” that when clicked enlarges the HD video player to be about 855 pixels by 480 pixels.
