I'm a Firefox user too. I just like its layout and how webpages look better than IE and even Chrome. I've tried other browsers but I can't get used to them. Opera used to be my second favorite but its been years since I've used it.

I'm not getting 60fps on Waterfox but it works in IE. I'm liking the 60fps though.

About damn time. Hopefully they improve the player all around.

60fps is gross for live action stuff. it gives that soap opera-y effect like if you turn on the "motion-flow" option on your tv.

*Sees the news*
*Sees sample videos with horrid bitrates and constant buffering*

android youtube player runs it at high framerate but it may not be stable 60 depending on your hardware. nexus4 is 720p on a snapdragon s4 and i can see it fluctuating between 40 to 60.

This is so awesome. We should start seeing a lot more 60fps video of upcoming games. Can't wait for this to launch.

Is there an option to have 30fps in HD resolutions? If not that wouldn't be a bad idea for those who don't like the smooth look.

I hope not. We need to ditch sub -48FPS video. People need to adapt and adjust.

It's only an option that wouldn't effect you. It's a win win in my opinion.
This is the most important piece of the pie to know.
No matter how you slice it, bit rate is crust of the matter while resolution is the cream on top.

This is weird. I tried them in IE and Chrome and it looks like they're running too fast and the quality is terrible compared to the awesome Gamersyde videos.

Currently uploading the highest quality 1080p/60fps Video of the Uncharted 4 Teaser from Gamersyde (Muxed the French Trailer's slightly higher quality Video w/English Trailer's Audio).
Will post link with 60-fps results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApxormiOpIU
wait for it up process, GAFbros. Also thanks, BASED-Gamersyde.

Seems to be working fine on my iPad, and my Macbook Air via Chrome.

I gotta be honest. As much as I loved the Hobbit in 48FPS, I somehow don't want that it becomes the norm for movies. yeah, yeah, you all can bring up the point again that it just feels good to have 24FPS on flicks, because it has been that way since the 1920s. But I actually like the 24FPS look, at least for movies. A few "event movies"/blockbusters surely can use 48FPS, but I still like 24FPS.
As for games... yeah, 60 should be the norm. It should've been the norm on consoles by now, too, but for some reason only Nintendo and Naughty Dog manage to get that one right.
I definitely love the new 60FPS feature. It's something I've wanted on YouTube for a long time. As for the three test videos... VGHS doesn't run at 60 for me, BFH runs almost perfectly and Titanfall occasionally drops in frame rate. But it's a good start.
I don't mind 24fps, but with the added frames, you just cut through so much of the blur, makeup and prosthetics will need to improve because high framerate is much less forgiving, but I think we'll all adjust.
Plus any time they do a scenic pan, we'll all be better off for it.

Fuck yes. Today is a good day for gaming. Illustrating and marketing the superiority of 60fps gameplay will be much easier for developers now.
Just make it a separate option in the menu that people have the option to pick, and will be aware of buffering time, so they can keep the bitrate at something that resembles viewable. That's my hope, anyway.
1080p only atm? That's no good for all the 720p/60fps fighting games, sadface.

Nope, it's still has 30FPS, no matter if in 720p or 1080p. Seriously, they need to unlock that shit now.
It'll be nice to see some silly smooth gameplay now. Totally digging this feature, though I fear it won't work as well as how we think it'll work. And I wonder if content creators will really care and record gameplay at 60 FPS. I mean, it's a video, so unless you are doing something special, who cares? Yeah, it'll look better, though there are some downsides.

will try the "VP9" format mentioned by a commenter.
Yeah I'll add to the positive reports with chrome. Looks better than I was expecting actually. I'm guessing chrome is acting as a beta test for the plug in ? perhaps an update will be sent out to IE and Firefox later ?
Either way, I look forward to seeing trailers of nexgen games in their actual framerates without the massive gamersyde download (although it's appreciated nonetheless).

The complaints regarding the bitrate are justified, but perhaps missing the wider implications. YouTube is mainstream while Gamersyde is not. There will be millions of gamers watching these 60fps videos, and they will be introduced to the vocabulary and visuals of high frame rates. I'm assuming there will be labels for 60fps footage. Once they're armed with that information they will be able to distinguish, appreciate, and demand high framerates in their games. In addition, due to the video compression, a locked 60fps is far more distinguishable in A/B video comparisons than more subtle additional graphical detail. Game developers now have an avenue and an incentive to market 60fps as a feature during the pre-release phase. Eventually, 60fps may eventually become an element of concern rather than an empty buzzword in the minds of mainstream consumers.

Have they finally announced a youtube app? I missed it.
Thanks
Gonna try these out on Chrome, Opera and IE on a Windows 7 laptop and also on PS4's Browser as well.

Screw resolution; I want high bitrate.
Looks great in Chrome but holy crap I cannot get their HTML 5 player to work properly in Firefox at all.
I enabled it at their HTML 5 page. I forced HTML 5 in YouTube Extender but it either tells me "Your Browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available" (such as on the Titanfall video) or it doesn't provide any option above 360p (on the other two).
I haven't a clue as to why it's so completely broken.

These look fantastic, thank you. I'm going to try get some fighting game footage capped. Guessing I'll have to upscale to 1080p.

People need to stop trying to make webm sound bigger than what it'll ever be without mobile or tablet support.
