Part 1. What is video resolution?

Generally speaking, video resolution can be introduced as width × height, with the value in pixels. Video Resolution can be classified into standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD). The standard resolutions that are often used are 640 × 360 and 640 × 480(for video), and 720 × 480 and 720 × 576(for DVD). HD video usually has a resolution of 1280 × 720 (720p) or 1920 × 1080 (1080p, also named as Full HD).

You need to change the video resolution. For example, you need to decrease the video resolution when you transfer video from your computer to your mobile or it will not be played on the device.
