The HD format is no more expensive as numerous developers have started to give high quality web FLV player. And now it is more surprising to see video gallery plugin for Wordpress, for low prices.

As the demand for various needs rises in the online video watching and sharing space, the video sharing sites such as You Tube, Hulu etc., are coming up with various attractive features, only to improve the look and feel so as to make the site livelier. Now the regular sites also want to have a video gallery set up like that of the latter sharing sites.

How to choose the best video gallery plugin for wordpress CMS? The simplest way is to become aware of the most utile features that a Wordpress site owner should look for:

... end.
- Most important: FLV & H.264 encoded video including MP4, M4V, M4A, MOV, Mp4v, F4V
- Social networking comments from the gallery page (like for Facebook)
- Provision to alter width, height, skin, theme, aspect ratio, volume, downloads etc. from the backend.

I came across the Contus Video Gallery which is very impressive with great looks and performance (from the makers of the HD FLV Player) at: http://www.hdflvplayer.net/wordpress-video-gallery/demo/.

And this wordpress video gallery plugin comes with the popular HD FLV Player for Wordpress CMS. You should read the product review yourself (atleast 10) before opting to buy from any particular developer.

The concept of a video gallery has various advantages such as:

- Space for aligning many videos thus increasing the visibility of their thumbnail previews
- Easy identification of videos
- Bookmarking favorite videos
- Social media sharing
- Classifying videos according to category
- Displaying related videos
- Uploading multiple versions of same video for different bandwidths

And each of the above features has been used so exhaustively by millions of users. Today for any information the average user's first choice is to search for a related video online rather than reading textual articles or graphic illustrations. And accessing, bookmarking, commenting of videos would become easier with video gallery.
