This is actually a test video I uploaded for myself about a week ago so that I could see if I was "doing it right."



A few things to note:

1) Google Chrome is required to watch the video at a resolution higher than 720p unless you have Adobe Flash installed separately and are specifically using the Flash player for YouTube. Chrome does not require a separate install of Flash since Google maintains, and includes Adobe Flash with Chrome.

2) If you're using Google Chrome and are watching the video through the HTML5 player (which should be default these days), selecting 1440p or 2160p will automatically shift you over to the Flash player -- It will seem as if the screen "refreshes" and, at the moment, this is expected behavior. You'll then need to re-select the resolution again since the Flash player will kick you back to the lowest, default setting. If you're using any sort of YouTube extensions or add-ons for your browser(s), then they may alter the instructions I've given.

3) YouTube is capable of accepting 60FPS for 1080p video and below, but only 30FPS is available for my video at this time. There is currently a bug with the YouTube player which doesn't allow for videos uploaded in a resolution greater 1920 x 1080 which have a framerate of 60FPS to display properly. I am hoping this bug is fixed before I reboot the series since 60FPS is sexy, but if not then it will only be available in 30FPS.

4) Watching the video in a resolution that isn't your monitor's native resolution may cause unwanted distortion during playback.

5) There is an added motion blur effect io the video. I like it and it's likely going to be added to this series. I've shown this video to several people so far, and some have claimed to not even notice the effect when I asked them about it, so your mileage may vary.
