  1. Though Chrome only, YouTube announced that it's adding two new features that will especially benefit people who enjoy watching gameplays and those who stream games live. Most excitingly, the site is rolling out 60 frames per second video playback. You need Google Chrome to watch YouTube videos at 60FPS, and you need to watch them in HD.

    As the another new feature, YouTube is also offering direct funding support for content creators — name-checking sites like Kickstarter and Patreon — and is allowing fans to 'contribute money to support your channel at any time, for any reason.' Adding the icing on the cake, the website has also a number of other random little features planned, including viewer-contributed subtitles, a library of sound effects and new interactive info cards.

    They didn't announce it, but I wonder if there's any support for 50fps? Anyone tried it?

    More than half the world's population live in "50Hz" countries, yet they only announced support for 48fps. It would be annoying to have to slow 50fps down to 48fps.

    Cheers,
    David.

    If I used Chrome, I'd try it immediately and upload a 50 fps video.

    I really hope 50 fps will be supported. In the past YouTube already managed to ignore the implementation of a 576p resolution for 50 Hz originated SD (for such videos the 480p option could be omitted but they didn't care).

    Other than that it's good news.

    Yes, 50p works fine:

    Fantastic. YouTube just became a lot more useful! It's 2014 and we can finally upload SD "PAL" video (deinterlaced and upscaled to 720p50) without losing spatial or temporal resolution.

    From a fairly average 1080p50@28Mbps upload, Youtube delivered 720p25@2.4Mbps, 720p50@3.4Mbps, 1080p50@5.5Mbps.

    It's nice that the video playback in Chrome seems to work so well. VLC can't quite cope with 1080p50 on this machine (WMP can), and the old flash players always seemed inefficient, but 1080p50 playback in Chrome is fine.

    Cheers,
    David.

    I wonder if 50/60 fps videos uploaded in the past will be upgraded now.

    probably because Youtube don't have space to keep original file

  11. I thought they archive the original files starting about 2 years ago. About that time they recommended always uploading the highest quality, highest resolution, highest framerate format, anticipating upgrades. You can certainly download your own original version now (not other people's uploads) . I don't know exactly when the cutoff was for retaining original files

    You have option to download reencoded to MP4 file, not the original file
    even if you uploaded MP4 file, download option not be original file

    This is a form of begging - "I'm uploading videos, please give me money so I can continue to do so".
    If you (i.e. any YouTube user) cant afford to, then sod off. YouTube isn't compulsory.

    I will never contribute money to anyone uploading videos to YouTube.

    I upload videos to YouTube because I want to - not because someone might pay me for doing so.

    I wonder how long it will be before these sad people who have contributed money to a complete strangers channel visit that user one day and find the account has been closed? That'll be hilarious for sure. Suckers.

    Yes, but I wonder if this current method is temporary. And I wonder if you have to update it manually, or if the change and option of 50p/60p will occur automatically on the YT page once the 50p/60p transition is fully enabled (because that will be a lot of work for some accounts if user has to do it manually) . They did make these proclamations and recommendations way back... I'm not imagining these things .

    Isn't this "just" Google's answer to facebook's "Download a copy of your Facebook data"? It's hardly a convenient way of getting one video back if you have hundreds. (unless I'm missing some way to select a video).

    Interesting that it exists though.

    It makes sense for YouTube to keep the originals. They never know what format they'll need to serve in the future. It's sad that lots of older videos will always look so crappy because that's how they were uploaded and/or re-encoded before YouTube kept the originals.

    Cheers,
    David.

  18. Yes, it's current form it's not very user friendly to use. Hardly anyone even knows about it because they don't advertise it. I suspect part of the reason is bandwidth. It doesn't count against your Google Drive limit. So you could be using it as a crappy but free form of storage; the "unfriendliness" to use deters usage. I think there was a cutoff date where they don't have the originals either, but I don't know when that date was

  19. If old original video have 60fps
    so probably need only trigger encoding again by editing/trimming 1 sec video with YouTube enhancements tools

    I haven't used those tools before - does this trigger a "new" version , separate URL (so 2 versions) ? or is current version replaced ?

    ?
    You can save on current video, save as New video or Revert to original if editing or enhancements going wrong
    don't know if URL changed if you choice save on current video, probably not
    make tests on 5 sec video
