| Re: YouTube HD not worth it... YouTube finally SD: Priceless... said by KA3SGM :Would be nice of them to bring their streaming content up to the 384-512Kbps level, it would make a nice improvement in PQ. YouTube could make their player have the ability to chose the quality of playback - just like some players do for Yahoo and others. That way they could still satisfy their dial-up and slower broadband users, but allow their fast broadband users to experience the highest quality that the native clip provides.

If course the quality of the uploaded source material matters greatly.... Greatly compressed HD streams would probably require at least a 6-10Mbps downstream connection, which is not practical for their service. Youtube should adopt some of Winamp's NSV technology. They're able to stream relatively high quality video at pretty low bitrates.

1 edit | HD? USA is not ready for HD streamed videos on youtube or anywhere else on the internet.
A lot of people in the USA are having a hard enough time with fuzzy low quality videos.
May be the folks in S. Korea/Japan where 100mbs costs $20/month or whatever it costs over there can do it. | |

I can easily get normally compressed HD video just fine with a 6600 kbps connection. You don't need 100 mbps to watch HD video.
See this thread from last week:
»Akamai's HD Proof Of Concept Portal
»www.thehdweb.com has a built-in HD bandwidh check that I easily satisfy.

| Pixelation Blows! I feel for the dialup users... but what about - me?
No one cares that *I* despise playing card size video that is pixelated to the point of being unwatchable?
Yeah, this is exactly why I prefer searching for the videos from their original sources.
*MOST* videos are snagged and resized from TV or other sources.
Once YT gets ahold of them... UGH! Shrunk and Flash-ified and they look like crap!
They *SHOULD* make the vids like other sources... where you can choose bandwith/size/bitrate/file size and *WE* can choose the bigger - better quality vids 'cause *WE* have bigger pipes.
Naw, fuck it up for everyone like it's been... that's a better idea, huh?

| When are they releasing the upgraded codec? What I am wondering is when is it that they are moving to some of the newer codecs like VC-1. Seems like I remember hearing talk about this a little while back.

Very true. Things change.
If YouTube wants to compete with sites like Stage6 in the future, they'd better start posting a higher quality of video. The sooner, the better, imo.
I like online video. I like it even better when it's at least decent quality.  | |

Why couldn't they just implement a similar feature for dial-up users? And let the rest of us at least enjoy SD quality. | |
