DailyMotion has joined the ranks of online video sites offering high definition content. Any time a user uploads HD content, DailyMotion will automatically encode to stream as a 720p resolution video.

You'll need a computer with a fast processor and a fast internet connection to watch HD videos on DailyMotion. That's not particularly surprising, but we found that DailyMotion's HD videos were much choppier than HD content from competing services like Vimeo and Stage6.

DailyMotion has also launched an updated version of its video player with support for HD and standard definition video, realtime seeking, and keyboard shortcuts.
