Definition: High-definition video, usually shortened to HD video, is a type of video clip that has a high resolution, usually at least 1024x768 pixels. Although nearly all new still digital cameras can shoot video clips, not all of them can shoot HD video. Some digital cameras can shoot HD video, but only at certain lower-speed frame rates.
