ahah okay. I havn't bothered to actually use it myself though, I just saw and went holy shit lol =P

But hmm.... with this new HD upgrade, will it be able to achieve Blu-ray like quality? I've been meaning to see the new Blu-Ray AIR OP in it's full glory for quite awhile now.

I think it only goes to 720p [1280x720], while Blu-ray can go up to 1080p [1900x1080].

IT's not even close to Blu-ray quality.

Blu-ray goes up to 1920x1080 resolution using h.264 at a maximum of 40 Mb/s

Youtube's fmt=22 is 1280x720 using h.264 at 2 Mb/s

yeah, that's right, _2_. So in a kind of innaccurate way you could say that blu-ray is 20 times better than the new youtube.

Also the audio is way different. Blu-ray can handle lossless 24 bit audio, but the youtube streams are all 192 Kb/s AAC audio.

Comparing youtube to blu-ray is really unfair though .

I'd say it was a good move on youtubes part but it still doesn't make up for the rest of youtubes quality issues. The fact that youtube only supports 3 resolutions. Horrible, not much better and FINALLY I CAN GO FULL SCREEN WITH OUT MY VIDEO LOOKING LIKE A HOT MESS OF BLOCKS... but it's a bit laggy... I hope now that they're supporting hd they can try supporting all the resolutions in between as well.

I posted these on another forum. There was more but it was mostly informing them because they had no idea what youtube actually does with uploaded videos.

&fmt=22


&fmt=18


&fmt=6


default


I did upload this. I wanted to take a more in depth look at the new hd feature. It's toradoras opening.

How to search for these higher resolution version? It's not like all video clips are now high resolution and they don't label them.

I hope youtube includes .wav audio support for future upgrades

So, Youtube could finally become an alternative for anime-watching..?

You'll know if the video supports 720p if theres a "watch in HD" button under it.

Maybe if they support sd resolutions that when you go full screen don't look like crap and when videos can finally stop being split in 3 parts.

[Wervy]

This is great, downloading 300k of torrents and I can still stream HD off youtube no problem. Maybe I will actulay start using youtube since it dosent look like crap anymore.

They should give us an option to hide the bar at the bottom though, it messes up the full screen video by making it smaller.

Not really, considering that a 25-minute episode is usually split to 3 parts in which each part is under 10 minutes. If you want to watch it continuously and smoothly as an episode, then you will have to load all 3 parts at once, but at the same time when you do that, the time of loading the videos would also take much longer. On the other hand, you do save a lot of bandwidth and time to do it this way, since the video quality isn't all that bad to begin with.

Load? Even fmt=22 videos only take a few seconds to start playing...

You internet connection must be very speedy. I had mine recently upgraded from 5mpbs to 7mpbs and its maximum download speed is around 250kb/s. However, it is usually around 30kb/s.

New rules allow unlimited time. Just keep the video under 1.0 gb.

Really? Maybe anime companies could partner with youtube and stream hd anime. It'd be a hell of a lot better then crunchy rolls quality. I don't recommend users upload full episode s themselves though. Only If the anime really doesn't have much of a chance of getting licensed.

Well, kyoani could be the first to get on that, since they're showing Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san on Youtube. I guess they will be HD.

Youtube is quite popular in Japan, I'm sure anime companies will get to it soon.

[Autumn Demon]

if fmt=22 vids become popular, youtube may be responsible for over flooding the internet.

Japan/Korea might survive since they have faster bandwidth.

USA's average internet speed is mediocre because we have some states that just don't try hard enough to keep up (Washington, Hawaii, New Mexico for example).

The state of Nevada has the fastest internet connection in the Union. We're right up there with other industrialized nations. Our lead may not last long because COX Communications in Virginia will upgrade their network to fiber optic
