Hey, everyone. I've been failing to crack the code on YouTube video quality, but I may have something that I'm willing to tolerate for now. I'm looking for some feedback, and below are two videos that are identical except for one thing. I'm not going to tell you what that thing is, and while some of you may notice it, others may not (it's okay if you do not). Now, this isn't a challenge to figure out what's different because it should be fairly obvious to most, but I'm asking that if you watch a specific part of one video, that you at least watch the same part of the other video to compare. The video is 6:20 in length and features my low-level, mixed-class team in scenes from two different dungeons. Plenty of mistakes were made during these dungeon runs, but we're not here to focus on those. >_>

As for viewing the videos... I'll ask that you watch them in a VP9-capable browser—so, either Google Chrome or Opera. If you must watch the video in Firefox because you absolutely abhor the other two choices, then you will be limited to 1080p60 using the AVC codec (slightly less quality), and I ask that you state that you could only watch the video in FireFox if you're voting or giving feedback. You also don't have to watch the videos at any special resolution, but the higher the resolutionb the better quality you should get (1440p60 requires ~15Mbps downstream in order to avoid constant buffering).

Thanks.
