thought the flv looked ok too..... and dont get me wrong Im no idiot (and you should know that), I know what Youtube does with re encoding
and with my shiternet I just cant upload Lossy Codecs, otherwise I would probably use ProRes Proxy or something similar
it very well could just be the way my mac handles Flash and Html5, it could be that my YT shows more Marco Blocks and Artifacts due to me being on a mac..... could be that all you PC heads are seeing the right quality
Because...
On Chrome I used to have this Extension that would force YT to use Googles Built In HTML5 Player (no not the youtube html5 one), and it will also allow me to force the codec to be WebM instead of Mp4..... and the quality was night and day (which no longer works on chrome now).... Im just fishing for any hope dammit, haha I know Im picky too
I will take a screen shot of the Video and upload here for you to see what I mean (and maybe you can let me know if you see those artifacts as well)
THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE BROTHA
EDIT - yeah your quality looks damn similar to mine, could it just be the older pvr's algorithms are a bit outdated now and I expect more?
