That's great news, gameplay clips will be a lot better.
ShadowPlay is going to really come in handy for that 😀

HTML5 only? 1080p only?

Why would you say that ?
The sample videos play in flash for me and its already possible to upload in 4k.
Maybe they start with lower resolution and up it to 4k later on or something.
BLEH!
Finally, ditching Flash player 😀

Nice, about time.

if there's one thing the new console generation has taught me is that 24 fps are needed for a true cinematic experience
i hope they revert the changes

Da hell? 35? youtube was always capped at 29.970, it was never 35, and it was certainly never 60 in 2008 to 2010, you could upload a 60 but it will make it 29.970 and motion blur will look weird.

Don't need it to be 60fps here, plays fine 😀

Watching the videos on YouTube, it seems that there is still some trouble getting 60FPS to work correctly; often, the video defaults back to 30FPS, even if for a while in the same stream.
To make sure the video is running at 60FPS, download the video using a YouTube video downloader such as YTD Video Downloader, then play the file using a proper media player (I use MPC-HC).
The difference is enormous, as expected. I've been shooting 1080p 60FPS videos on my Xperia Z2 for a while and at this point I can't care about 1080p 30FPS and 4K 30FPS video recording because 1080p 60FPS video is so ridiculously smooth.

Only the 1080p versions are 60fps, anything below that is 30fps. Chrome seems to play them best aswell.

Most of us have gotten far too used to 30FPS. Recording at 60FPS means we can tone down the *artificial* motion blur in order to hide things. For game recording, there's no way back. For movies, it will take some time for them to pin it down.
I've been recording 60FPS videos on my Z2 and there's no way I'd go back to recording at 30FPS.

i only watch my movies at 60fps. have been for years. (SVP) if i start looking at 30fps now it seems super boring somehow.
I guess its just what you are used to

It's meaningless.
Makes no difference to the quality of the content. Now then, upping the stream to H265 would've been newsworthy.
I may have even raised one of my eyebrows.

html5 only is true already if you're using Chrome ( .mp4 or VP9 ). Just disable all Flash in about:plugins.
The same for IE11 ( the best .mp4 only with DXVA ). Just activate the active-x protection.
Same partially for Firefox. Just disable entirely Flash. Though only 720p for now. For 1080p requires something else that Mozilla is building already.

It was just right about time. We may see some benefits after google buys twitchtv.

how about improve that damn player first? I mean when I switch resolutions and skip ahead, 25% of the time it just buffers a bit and then I have to skip again for it to start buffering again.
and DAMMIT MAKE THAT AUTO HD SETTING WORK. I SHOULDN'T NEED to use browser extensions when that is the most basic of the basic functions that piece of **** player needs to accomplish. no, I don't want the player to 'auto-detect' my settings half way into the video and switch resolutions when it's too late.
and keep the current resolution when redirecting to a diferent video through annotations. it's god. damn. annoying. to have to switch to hd every time I click on an annotation.
and while you're at it, maybe make that bloody fullscreen playlist menu focus on MY CURRENT video instead of THE BEGINNING OF THE PLAYLIST.
but yeah, we have 60 fps. NICE. AWESOME. I'm sorry, but I feel like this is damn insulting.

Thats cool that youtube is finally going to 60 Fps. This means that LPers or videogamers who make reviews are not capped at 30 FPS And they do not have to extra Stuff to make their Videos look nicer at 30 FPS.

Use Firefox/Palemoon/Chrome and this awesome addon:

Tick options to suit like what you mentioned about buffering ahead and auto HD.
Thank me later 😉

Thanks man, I will try it. I've actually ran out of good extensions. Although this shouldn't be needed if that player would've been coded correctly, but still. I appreciate a lot.
