YouTube Opens Up 60fps To Everyone
jones_supa writes Four months ago YouTube promised support for 60 frames per second videos. Back then, the feature was limited to some selected demonstration clips. Now the capability to upload 60fps videos has been opened to everyone. By searching YouTube, a lot of interesting high-FPS material can already be found. For now, some caveats apply though. To watch the clips at 60fps you currently need to use Chrome (further browser support is on the way) and be sure to select 720p60 or 1080p60 from the settings menu of the video player. A fair amount of decoding power is also required, so you will need good hardware. In addition, YouTube says that the content format will be only available on "motion-intense" videos, and the average cat video may not be detected as such. Of course gaming will be the most obvious genre that can take advantage of the higher frame rate.
A Google website only working with Chrome.
I'm shocked, I tell you. Just absolutely shocked. *LOL*
I do not fail; I succeed at finding out what does not work.
They don't support all browsers, so your standards have been met.
I really hope, people are going to re-upload all those C64 and Amiga demos that just stutter like hell in 25/30fps in their original 50/60fps glory!
Until they don't support all browsers I don't care about 60fps.
Totally agree. Support all browsers!
I'm particularly upset about the lack of support for Lynx!
If I can't see it by telnetting to port 80 it isn't there!
