DPHOTO Adds High-Definition Video To It’s Premium Photo Sharing And Backup Solution

MELBOURNE, Australia (Feb 24, 2010) - DPHOTO has seamlessly integrated high-definition (HD) video into its premium photo sharing and backup solution. Users can now easily organize and protect all their visual media using DPHOTO, and present their photos and videos together in their own elegant online Gallery.

With the increasing quality and sophistication of video technology in today’s digital cameras, people are more frequently taking short videos as well as photos to capture their experiences. DPHOTO’s integration of video into its existing photo sharing solution enables albums and slideshows to come to life, seamlessly combining large high-quality photos and high-definition video. “There are some moments in life that just can’t be captured in a photo” said DPHOTO founder Henry Dawson, “We’ve extended our service to make the sharing and backup of videos just as simple and elegant as we have for photos.”

Sharing video can be complicated. Large file sizes make email impossible, and the vast array of different file formats often lead to incompatibilities when different users try to watch video. DPHOTO simplifies the sharing process by allowing users to upload large, high-definition videos to their account in almost any format. Videos are then converted for hassle-free playback within each users online gallery (via the ubiquitous Flash Player). Additionally, DPHOTO optimizes each viewer’s experience by automatically displaying video in the most appropriate resolution based on the viewer’s computer specifications.

In addition to its sharing capabilities, DPHOTO also provides remote backup protection for your original hi-resolution photos and videos. “I started DPHOTO largely because I was so frustrated at losing my photos - I’ve had a laptop stolen, broken hard drives, and scratched backup CDs” said Henry Dawson, “and each time I lost photos that I’ll never get back.” DPHOTO’s backup protection now extends to videos, making it an inexpensive form of insurance for those irreplaceable digital memories.

High Definition video is available now for DPHOTO users with a Pro account ($90/year). Users can store an unlimited number of photos and videos, with each video being up to five minutes long and 500mb in size.
