- bombcar 1y agoI’m going to develop 8k streaming - it’s just the normal low bitrate shit, but if you pause it sends a full quality 8k frame. Nobody will figure it out!
- gmueckl 1y agoWhen your source material shows fast sweeping motions you'd certainly get away with that.
- dawnerd 1y agoThe marketing of a resolution really won out. People will fight you if you suggest a high bitrate 1080p encode can look better than a low bitrate 4k.

- ProfessorLayton 1y agoBitrate aside, the marketing stopped making sense long ago: - 720p/1080p is counting vertical pixel resolution - 4k/8k is counting horizontal pixel resolution - "4k/8k" is not actually 4,000/8,000 horizontal pixels - Suddenly the "p" becomes irrelevant (Not that most people even knew what it meant to begin with) - 720/1080/4k/8k totally disregards aspect ratio - Consumers already have a way to compare, and they're called "megapixels" - 2.1MP (1080p) and 8.3MP (4k) etc. is a lot more consumer friendly since it's already used for cameras. Marketing really won at making this a mess.
- dawnerd 1y agoThat's not even including HDR and the fake 4k upscales.
