This morning, we tuned into the Official
U.S. White House Blog to see U.S. President Barack Obama's second weekly
address, in which he discusses how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan
will jump-start the economy. What caught us by surprise, however, is that the blog is now
available for viewing in 720p high definition as an .mp4 file, using compression
formats AAC for audio and h.264 for video.
U.S. President Barack Obama has continued in his ambition to
become an "Internet president" with his series of weekly addresses on the White House YouTube
Channel and the White House Blog, both of which are offered in high
definition.
The latest HD weekly address from the White House site is
dated Saturday, January 24, 2009 can be found here.
