G+_Scott Meister Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 From Youtube?? Are you kidding?? It'll take most of a day to stream this video! Even on a 200 Mb fiber optic connection! Youtube streams videos so slowly that they become infuriatingly unwatchable because they "buffer" so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marc Bollinger Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I dunno, I have a 25mbps connection and it streamed pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Dwight E Howell Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I have bandwidth and a very HD monitor and this is very low definition. You go to their web site and buy it. This is just a teaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marc Bollinger Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Did you switch to the "original" feed? Seemed fairly high resolution for me, but could have just been a higher bitrate 1080p. Sucks if this is a bait and switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jack Zhang Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Search up F5 and F55 footage. Those are 4K cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dwight E Howell Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sorry I overlooked going to original feed. For some reason this video still seemed to be less than happy about something. For whatever reason some other 4K media I tested played better. Youtube sometimes seems to have download issues for me that other sites don't though I don't think that was all of it. I went to Youtube. I have a Dell 30" monitor. It is definitely super high res but not the right dementions for a true 4k shown at full screen. I end up with an ~centimeter black strip on the top and bottom. It still didn't want to run but I finally got the 1080 p to run and it was mildly pixelated as was to be expected on full screen after all it only has about 1/4 the pixels the monitor has. Then I got the 4k to run and it did much better. Oddly enough I could still see pixels some of the time and what I consider to be focus issues with the camera. 4k is going to be a pain for a lot of reasons. Artistic types like to only have part of the image in focus and I think they are going to find their audiences are going to want to kick them because the viewer wants to see something and it is out of focus. I know there was a way to get it all in focus on my old 35 Camera so I assume these people can do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dwight E Howell Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks but I'm not sure I want to go there. I have a couple of video cameras and of course some regular cameras that do video. If I get a true 4k I'm going to have to do some hard thinking about where to store the video. On line would be a pain to upload and cost a fortune to store and home still means a couple of large external hard drives at the least just to have a back up and if I make serious use of the Camera those drives are going to get full pdq. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dwight E Howell Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thank you for the tip about searching for F 5 and F 55 footage. I tested a video and it ran great except for buffering rather often. That the times between buffering were pretty erratic suggests that it should be possible to get a smooth playback but somebody else somewhere is getting part of the bandwidth some of the time. Now if I could just click something and download an entire video and view it later that would be cool but as I understand it Google isn't all that fond of that idea. ?;^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
