  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

YouTube To Offer 1080P Streaming Flash

When YT came with so caled "HD" it was hardly SD quality. So I expect that 1080p will be hardly in 720p rank. But Vimeo's servis to download source video in QT is mostly only solution to be able to compare some video quality from different cameras in deatils. Low bitrate Flash is crap.

Here's a link to the first confirmed 1080p video:

It still shows up in a 720p window, but according to posts and my visual inspection, it definitely seems like its a step up in picture quality from their 720p videos.

EDIT: on a side note, be careful with opening the video. Flash isn't the best at handling the extra load. I tried replaying the video and FF died on me ( I'm running Win7 x64 on a Core i7 w/6GB of RAM )

Download the Flash 10.1 Beta for Mozilla and the latest drivers for your Nvidia or ATI graphics card. You'll see improvement with YouTube and other sites since it brings GPU acceleration for h.264 Flash video into the mix if you have the latest drivers that support it. It doesn't do much for my desktop because it's already a power machine but it certainly did wonders for my notebook which is just a mid-range entertainment model. If you want a true 1080p Flash test, try the Canon Camcorder website as they have links to 1080p and 720p Flash demo files. I've got the files myself directly from Canon so I can provide them to you or anyone else who wants to do some testing with their hardware.
 
The stuff I do is mainly broadcast, or sensitive for example, say a well known person that does not want a video of them driving their exotic car at 175mph to show up on the internet, and I have see way too many horror stories with videos being ripped off, or played on the air by local TV stations without permission, and or copied without permission.

makes sense. :yesnod:
 
I actually have had a lot of success with Youtube. I think that the video encodes work better, quicker, there's none of this "waiting in line" crap, and they have very advanced analytics.

Plus, the whole community thing ads tonns of visibility to your video. Vimeo looks sleek, but I think that youtube, despite it's shun from the film world, is the better of the two services.

I use vimeo, though, when communicating with a client, just because of the clean, professional feel. So let me rephrase that: communication: vimeo; distribtion: youtube.
 
OK, just paid youtube a visit out of curiosity and now I'm really pissed!
Just saw a bunch of commercials posted that I did the voice over for,
where the use of my voice was licensed for a local market TV only.
Now I know exactly how Harlan Ellison feels.
People are getting ripped off left and right on these sites, and talk about copyright violations out the wazoo!
 
And when they will offer 4K Streaming Flash?
