#ut3pugs on Youtube HD

[GreatEmerald]

Thanks, but no thanks. It's as simple as comparing even my own uploads - see the difference between one encoded at 30fps and one at 60fps.

Huge difference in the smoothness of the video, which is more important than quality in something so fast paced...

Your film and NTSC standard framerates are not useful for computer games where each frame is rendered crisp (without the blur from a camera shutter exposure). Regardless of how youtube re-encodes, there is a noticeable difference in smoothness.

TBH I don't see much difference between the two.

Gunna have to say I don't see a real difference either. I think the placebo effect is kicking in for you hax. I know there is a huge difference between 30 and 60 ingame but for the vids you posted I don't see a difference.

edit: also note that the vids you posted are also of different players with different sensitivities

To me the difference is slight, but it's still there. Regardless - there is no loss by going to 60fps, and outside youtube there is a night and day difference. Remember Youtube isn't the only use for video

For example, the UT frag vid Incarnation http://own-age.com/vids/14922/ is encoded at 50fps...

MeStinkBAD, I don't need to read up on framerates. The only thing I don't know is how Youtube re-encodes video, and frankly it doesn't matter. The video's are smooth and high quality, and I have yet to see better with Youtube's very limiting bitrate.

I honestly welcome you to show me a benefit of using NTSC standard fps outside of filesize...
