# Motionbox Goes HD - Host: [businessinsider.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/businessinsider.com/) - Saved: March 31, 2008 (2008-03-31T05:01:00Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3a2182b2b2e9/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3a2182b2b2e9.json ## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words) Video-sharing and storage site Motionbox is now offering some users an HD option. The NY-based service's premium members, who pay $30 a year, will be able to upload and play HD videos; the company promises that the site's free users will also see a noticable upgrade in the quality of their standard-def videos. We don't think conventional video-sharing sites like YouTube and the YouTube-wannabees need to offer HD, but this makes sense for Motionbox: It's targeting users who are shooting home movies and the like with "near-HD" cameras, and want a place to share those clips with a handful of their friends and family. Gearhead details from the release: The HD player takes full advantage of Adobe Flash Player's capabilities and the exceptional H.264 video format. Major advances to Motionbox's server-based video rendering engine enable Web-based editing of full 1080p video, with AVCHD support coming soon. See Also: YouTube In HD?
