Hulu is designed with a singular focus on providing an exceptional, online video viewing experience. You can customize the experience to fit your viewing preferences. Watch videos in full screen. If you’re multi-tasking, pop out the video player from the web page and place it anywhere on your computer screen, and you can even re-size the pop-out window if necessary. You can even dim the lights and mute the rest of the browser window to minimize distractions while you’re watching the video.
Video quality is very important to us. We adjust the video bitrate between 480Kbps and 700Kbps depending on your bandwidth. Leveraging the H.264 capability of the new Flash Player 9, we also now offer a portion of our content in a higher resolution 1,000Kbps stream. Videos available in this format will display with a 480p Hi Res button on the lower right-hand side of the player. If you have sufficient bandwidth and Flash Player 9, click the button to view this high resolution stream.

Finally, as a sneak peek of the future, we offer some examples of streaming high-definition video in stunning 720p in our HD Gallery. Visit the HD Gallery to view minimum hardware and software requirements.
