DMA 135 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Apparently you can watch some videos in 720p on Youtube now...it looks fantastic. All you have to do is add "&fmt=22" at the end of a video, if the video is uploaded as 720p or higher. I uploaded one video as a test: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMA 135 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think 70-80 MB, but it could have been more. Youtube has upgraded the upload amount to 1GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thafernykid 2 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 What type of tuner do you guys use?

The recording quality is great, but as it records as a "transport stream" it's a little difficult to convert for Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey 779 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This is what I use: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/PCTV+Tuners/PCTV+Flash_TV+Stick/PCTV+HD+Ultimate+Stick.htm I love it when it works, but the software seems slow and crashes frequently. Every once in a while, it stops working completely and I have to reset it to the way it came and then download the software updates again. It's a pain in the neck. I'm only able to the broadcast stations in HD, though. It probably has to do with Cablevision only making the cable HD channels available with a box.

Vlad 276 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Looks great. Kind of jerky in Safari... There definitely is some sort of Jerkiness going on there, I also noticed that the framerate has diminished as well from 60 Frames Per Second to about what seems to be 25 Frames Per Second..

TennTV1983 743 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Apparently, YouTube has updated itself to display all videos in format now (though I don't quite know the code for that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1811 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Apparently, YouTube has updated itself to display all videos in format now (though I don't quite know the code for that). It's automatic. And it makes the 720p video look . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1811 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Re-converted and re-uploaded a WLS open I had: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 That open is pretty nice Steve, that is the clearest WLS video I've seen so far on YouTube, lol. Here is an HD Version of the new WABC Open in 720p HD, to compare with WLS's open that Steve posted, I don't think anything compares with WLS lol..

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by NFL Properties LLC I uploaded about 20 seconds of whatever game was on FOX at the time because it was the only thing I could find in HD.
