Youtube Allows 60FPS Uploads Now

[Weaver]

The day has finally come!

Youtube has made 60 FPS uploading publicly available to everyone. This is great news for gaming content on YT in my opinion. The current downside is it only works in Chrome and Safari. Moreover, in firefox it not only doesn't work, but you cannot play the video at 720 or 1080p.

It's really smooth and nice in chrome, but I guess a lot of youtubers will need to ask themselves if that is worth alienating the viewers in their audience who don't use chrome - at least for now.

Well that's stupid. As someone trained in cybersecurity, I do not trust Chrome or Safari at all, as they both have security holes you could fly an airplane through. By a wide margin, Firefox is the safest and nothing can get me to change. There's no good reason you can't make this work in Firefox, YouTube. F off.

I heard the firefox nightly build has it kind of working, but I'm not 100% sure if that's true.
Hopefully it will be working soon!

As this site's resident Internet Explorer user I can say proudly that it works wonderfully in IE11.

Man, the difference is even bigger than I was expecting, 30fps is going to look like shit now. Thanks Obama!

That's good to know! I think Firefox's problem may be due to it's relatively poor javascript engine. Chrome and IE's are both actually pretty efficient.

I skimmed on the FF (nightly) forums that all you need to do is edit a few settings in about:config relating the to file containers...Now only if could find that post again.

I noticed that on a new GeneralMcBadass vid. I just thought he changed the way he recorded or something. That's pretty cool though. And just might justify having four titans in your PC.

... four titans in your PC.

Fo- four freakin' titans? Just one of those is capable of a consistent 1080p 120fps on just about everything under the sun from my understanding, and that's assuming it's the original model and not the black or z versions. Four of those, assuming you could SLI it up or something to actually get them all running at once.... fuck, that's going into multi-monitor 4k territory at that point.

Talk about overkill...

I know, I saw a picture of it on 9Gag, still thinking of it when I came here. Apparently the Rampage IV Extreme can run those in quad SLI. The gentleman apparently also had 64 Gigs of RAM.

Once this works for every major browser, do you think the "30fps vs 60fps" arguments will finally end?
