It's HQ, damnit people, stop confusing these:

SD = STANDARD DEFINITION (normal video encoded in flash h.263)

HQ = HIGH QUALITY (video encoded in h.264)

HD = HIGH DEFINITION (720 pixels tall h.264)

There will not be support for HD videos on any platform and it'd be waste of bandwidth anyway since the video resolution is larger than the device screen.
