Youtube adding 60FPS support, Finally!

Have you guys tried the 4K trick with youtube? You get better quality videos buy doing it, i've known about it for a while but only tried it today.

Record your vids in 1080p and 50Mb\s bitrate, then render your videos with a the same bitrate of 50Mb/s but with a res of 3840x2160. Filesize will be the the same as if you rendered it in 1080p.

When you upload it to youtube, it will allocate a higher bitrate to your video and they will look much better.
I don't know what watching a vid like this is like on a res above 1080p quality wise, but watching the 2160p upload of the video you uploaded on youtube on a 1080p screen looks good.

Here is the vid I did using that method, make sure you watch it in 2160p.

It's not really a trick, is it. Youtube offers a set bitrate for each resolution, by upscaling your videos youtube allows them to be uploaded at a higher bitrate.

Well I know this, but you are basically tricking youtube into giving you a higher bitrate :D

You are just using their default settings for resolution, it's not like they give you higher quality at 1080p. Tricking them would mean you'd do something you aren't supposed to do.

Well you are giving them an upscaled 1080p vid in 4K to make them think you are actually uploading a 4k vid to get a higher bitrate.
I know "technically" you are uploading a 4k vid, but it isn't really because it is just an upscaled 1080p vid and the reason for doing it is to get a higher bitrate.

Whatever you want to label it as, it works.
 
Will this work for videos already uploaded or only new uploads after the update ?

Also I think my eyes suck because I can't notice a difference between 30 or 60 fps on those example videos ^_^
