And, when you want to upload these HD videos on Youtube or play them on iPod, you will come across this problem – “I need to convert HD video formats for uploading or portable players, but why the output quality often gets bad after conversion?”

This article can help your resolve this issue – convert HD video and not lose the quality.

This HD video converter(Download) supports HD video output and all Resolution parameter of the HD video in the settings have been changed from 1280*720 to 1920*1080.

So, you just need to select the output video format from the HD video column (mp4 for iPod, wmv for uploading, etc.) and adjust the Resolution to 1920*1080 and Bit Rate to 10000 kbps or 8000kbps.(This HD video converter also supports setting Resolution parameters manually, so you can type the data by yourself).
