First Youtube update I'm actually excited for.

Youtube announces support for 60fps videos
- Thread starter Silky

Maybe he likes Safari just fine. Why should someone have to switch browsers to be able to view a thing on the Internet? The whole point of the Internet is that it's supposed to be the one universal, inclusive platform.
In any case, I thought those two videos looked awful. They look fake, like the display modes TV manufacturers put in HDTVs that up 24/30 fps content to 60. I'm glad that this is now an option, but it looked poorly done, and the compression was still poor.

Hmm, doesn't seem to work for me in Firefox 28 and whatever Chrome version I have installed, thanks though! Is there maybe a new Flash version we need?
Guess it's broken for some people then still
It's borked in Firefox. I get 30fps with the Flash player at 1080p and the HTML5 caps at 720p, also 30fps. Works on Chrome and IE11.

In Cyberfox 30 it runs under the settings I said just fine. Tried it with Chrome just now, it runs even with 720p no full screen fine.
All I expect from YouTube 60 FPS is just that, 60 frames per second on a Windows 7/8 PC using Google Chrome or IE. I do not expect the quality to be anything but way below average with massive amounts of compression.
If I want a high bitrate I'll watch Gamersyde's 1080p60 streams (much improved recently BTW) or I'll simply download Gamersyde's MP4 or WMV.
Blim Blim / Gamersyde is the Gold Standard for framerate and quality / bit rate, and YouTube 60 isn't gonna change that.
With that said, it's truly awesome to know that the sheer number of 60 FPS game videos on the interest is about to skyrocket right into the stratosphere.
My hope is that casual gamers may start to notice the smoother-moving visuals even if they have no clue what FPS / frame rate means.
But much more importantly, the masses of younger non-casual "core" gamers that started gaming on PS360 within the past 9 years (or even on PS2 / OG Xbox) the ones that are aren't yet or may never be truly the hardest of the hardcore, will eventually begin to expect & demand 60 FPS from devs that make games in the genres that really need to be at the highest possible frame rate. Most games can really benefit from from 60 FPS.
The exceptions being RPGs, some action-adventure games and most open-world sand box games like GTA that can get away with just 30 FPS in order to make their worlds larger, more detailed and more seemless. Also in some games where more detail per frame and heavy post-processing effects make 60 FPS less feasible with a given console's hardware limitations.
We will never, ever have a generation of game systems with only 60 FPS games. We will always have games with bad frame rates that dip into the 20s or worse. It is my sincere hope that we eventually get more & more games that at least reach for 60. And more that are locked at 60.
There will always be good & positive reasons for *some* games to be locked at a solid 30 FPS, as well as bad reasons why games of either 30 or 60 FPS don't maintain a locked frame rate that dip down significantly below 30.
Ya know what's gonna be awesome sometime this Fall ? The PS4 Youtube App + SHARE direct-to-YT with the new YouTube60FPS. and the equivalent combo for Xbox One.

It randomly started to work for me in Chrome now but still no dice in Firefox even after a Flashplayer update :/ Oh well I don't feel like updating to Firefox 30 due to having a self-made custom UI and I'm not sure it still works past 29 so I guess I will turn Chrome on for whenever I have to watch something in 60fps on Youtube.
I guess it's something about Youtube's implementation of it as Gamersyde's 60fps videos works flawlessly with Firefox 28.

Nice. I knew next time I popped in this thread there would be videos.
Worked great on my tablet Z's YouTube app.

They just started rolling out VP9?
Also they rolled out 4K which has a pretty decent bitrate.

They could have chosen better videos than those 3 example ones.
I do. I'm talking about me and what I enjoy.

"I don't always capture footage, but when I do it's 60 fps".
...Then I upload it on Youtube and it suddenly looks like crap, so this is a godsend.
Actually, since Shadowplay got desktop capture support, I do always capture (60 fps) footage

You just can't please some people. Is this not a step in the right direction? Did you see the 60fps Titanfall video? It looks fine.

60 fps are so awesome.

5.25 Mbit for 1080p60 titanfall video (according to keepvid)

Look at the 60fps videos on Youtube. The quality is just fine for being able to watch without downloading.
I don't usually use hashtag memes, but this news is a real #gamechanger. Gamersyde and this are (hopefully) gonna push games presentation on the Internet to the next level, especially for genres where 60fps is a mainstay, like fighting and racing games.
My Avermedia ExtremeCapU3 and GTX 760 with ShadowPlay are weeping with joy. Got a bunch of 60fps footage I can upload once it's up and running. Even a slightly lower compression isn't too bad, means I can upload longer vids.
Really excited at where things are going.

This hardline trailer is the only one for now that is 60fps?

I have a 120Hz TV and 60fps doesn't look as smooth as it does on my PC monitor. What gives?
Posted earlier in this thread: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbsGxdAPhjv9UrLo19pS8teoRKj7funAy
HFR = 48fps

Fine with me, 900p looks the same as 1080p anyway. /s

Great news
Too bad it'll probably never work with my laptops which can't even play anything over 720p

Different screens?
Couldn't stop myself
They may have changed it, but they used to tie audio quality to the quality settings so they've probably done the same with framerate for those with poor bandwidth.
I wish they didn't because I'm often somewhere with poor internet and would love to watch 360-480p in 60fps.
Meh, Shadowplay has nothing on a proper capture card. I use a second dedicated PC for all my capture needs.Actually, since Shadowplay got desktop capture support, I do always capture (60 fps) footage

It made it to 60fps a few times, yeah. Wish they had captured proper footage from the PC port.

Had to re-enable hardware acceleration for flash on FireFox (which was borked in some version years ago) to get 60FPS. HTML 5 still doesn't work on Gamersyde for me with FF.

Works at 720p on the youtube app on iPhone 5
Works on my iPad 2 which means it works on my iPod touch as well.
