Not sure what you mean, in virtualdub just set the target height and it will calculate the rest for you.

True. But targeting at specific res will make the file size just as huge. Need to see how different our current method will be compared to aiming at 1440p exactly. Can you make a 1440p@60 test upload just to make sure it works that way for any res, not just 4K?

Alyosha, there were posts by true back when some of the recent glitched Kirbys was published, look those up.

For whatever schizophrenic reason they just drop the res by 1 when you're uploading 60fps. For html5. We upload 1440p+ anyway.

On 1080p monitor 4k is much better. Even this is extreme condition. I still thinks that 4k is good to have. Even there is not that big difference between 4k and 1440p than between 1440p and 1080p. 4k still the most cleaner of all on 1080p monitor
I posted the deal above.

Not only resolutions above 1080p on youtube have noticeable less compression artifacts, but if you watch 4k video on 1080 monitor it looks noticeable sharper and cleaner than same video at 1080p. It's better to have those resolutions even for 2D games, in my opinion ofc, because there noticeable difference edit: http://i.imgur.com/Uz7DPyC.png here it is. Both screenshots made at 1080 monitor with my lame encode. First made at 4k youtube replay and second second at 1080p replay. Both zoomed x8 with nearest neighbor. You can clearly see the difference. I can't see why not to have 4k encode if there is noticeable difference even at 1080 monitor. If you have 4k encode watcher can choose what he/she wants. Maybe someone wants more sharpness and clearness of the picture. Why not to have this?
This is not about whether there are artifacts or not, because there mostly are anyway. This is about how much does your naked eye spot compared to lossless encode. You'll never get the true lossless look out of youtube, no matter how much "better" it gets. Transparency is when it stops making the difference for an eye. We were uploading 2D encodes that got processed up to 4K, even though their actual res was lower: 224*8 for instance. Their 4K res is artificial if you want pixel-perfection, the only thing it guarantees is higher bitrate, which is still lossy, so I dunno. If someone finally does mkvmerge tests and compares mkv aspect ratio correction against avisynth one, and the former doesn't look worse, we will switch to that, since then we won't generate too much overhead going 8x again. Otherwise... it's not worth it. PS: Your comparison is pointless, you should have put 1440p back to back with 4K, since we do upload 1440p+ minimally. I set up the official script to do that.

Seriously though... Increment the numbers is not the same thing as technological progress. 10bit444 and opus were the latter. Switching from x^y pixels to x^z pixels is the former. For 3D content, 4K is justified if you render everything at that resolution, just look at the recent Banjo Kazooie HD encode. Something higher? Find the person who will be stably doing that and be my guest. But for 2D content, there's really no point, since it's the same huge pixels. Youtube does butcher the bitrate beyond expectations, so various variants of super hires are all the same rotten apples.

This didn't speed me up, since it requires using the bit library for splitting.

That's exactly what I meant. Someone should start encoding it, so that by the time it gets judged, it would be published quicker.

GetBlock() is insanely slow, because for every action, there's a call from C# to lua core written in C, that generates a ton of overhead compared to the same function running in Gens. For whatever reason, not wiping the offscreen data (and dropping all the bounds checks) slows me down a few fps. The reason I keep mentioning the size of the resulting table is because it does slow the emu down if the level map is too wide, even if I don't even iterate through all the entries.

Thanks! I do the bounds check there to see if I should remove the block that went offscreen or add the new block I scrolled in. There's a check area around the screen borders. Array of functions doesn't seem to speed me up at all. But switching to 2 nested loops saved me some 10 fps. What I had in mind was some way to stop using such a huge array of cache entries, but I still don't know how. Download Gargoyles.lua

See my tests for 3D content on how different rate factors get processed by youtube. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18609 -qp 10 Sounds like an overkill if your res is high enough. I never checked the 2D content, but you could do it yourself if you want. tl;dr: youtube isn't going to preserve your -qp 10 even in 4K mode.

Google, GameFAQs and Circus Caper manual dont's seem to know about this trick, SDA forum doesn't even know the game, but RTA runs use it. I don't think we have a proof that it's a cheat, even if it is. And even if it is, the RTA crowd uses it, so it looks safe. EDIT: This run is also quite sloppy. Here's my 105 frame improvement of what looks like level 1. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/36146295028709928 The jet controls are indeed shitty, but not shitty enough to lose so much time.
