>reddit filenameGO the fuck BACK.
>>107741289I seem to be one of the few people who saw things like retro games simply as what they were when I was a child.
>>107741289Sorry sir bandwidth costs money prease understandu
>>107741289cache fucks with old videos
>>1077412891080p on youtube is not real 1080p unless you have premium
>using resolution as some sort of image quality gradeshiggy
>>107741289there's more to video quality than resolution alone. it's why i still torrent shit instead of using crappy streaming services.
>>107741351>proper upscalingno amount of algorithmic scaling can fix the fact that you're trying to generate more data out of nothing. Best bet is ai upscalers
>>107741500Yeah and depending on the content they can be pretty good, anime upscaling from a good quality 720p source for example is no problem to get even good 4k results.

>>107741466Which should be illegal.
Some shows I was watching way back when didn't get high quality encodes because the channel was hard to find. Like Breaking Bad on AMC. A lot of those 720p releases from there looked like ass and were blocky. Low bitrate 1080i mpeg2 sources were nasty. But where I lived there was literally no way to watch it in HD legit even if I paid.
>>107741394but it's the Bateman of sportsball
>>107741598>>1077414661080p is a resolution and a frame method, not an indication of quality
>>107741520anime is almost never a good benchmark for any encode related task due to its low variation nature, as it can be thought of just large areas of same color with some gradient. Been a long time but iirc you can get away with bicubic or gaussian upscaling up to 2-3 times with anime
>>107741289buy a new tv
>>107741699That's why it's easy to upscale.
What would you rather watch, a 240p video at 1080bps or a 1080p video at 240bps?
>>107741289i still download anime at 720p because there is no difference to 4k with cheap animations.
>>107741351there's no reason for this to be the case though?neither scaling is integer, they're both fucky, but 4k has a lot more pixels to work with and to do it cleanly, as long as the two screens are of the same size, 720p on 4k should look far better than 720p on 768p.also yeah the overall encoding quality will still be 99% of the equation on such a low resolution.
>>107741786>240p at 17000kbps vs 1080p at 100kbps240p all the time.you're a retard. read.>>1077416301080p doesn't mean much. it doesn't even tell you what audio quality has, what colors? what codec? what framerate? bitrate? etc.while is common for people to expect better quality at 1080p is just an idea.
>>107741311bitrate is a meaningless metric without knowing what the source is (clean? noisy? mostly static?) what codec is being used, what specific encoder, which parameters for that encoder.it's oversimplifying a very complex problem with a term that makes you sound smart but actually shows you have 0 knowledge of how video really works.No, a 6 mbps mpeg-2 from the olden days doesn't (in most cases) look any better than a modern 2 mbps av1 encode at a much higher resolution.kys.
>>107741982nerd ass nigga
>>107741982But spamming high bitrates is a good way to cope with having a shitty encoder. It's like the retard proof failsafe for lossy video or audio compression. Just crank up the bitrate. Can't do x264 with good settings in real time? Use your GPU and push the slider to the right.
>>107742010
>>107741982I have some archived 720p movies with high bitrate from over 15 years ago and they still look fine. Obviously not as good as on a native 720p screen, but OP's example (which happens often nowadays) is definitely caused by the very low bitrates that tend to be used by 720p videos nowadays.
>>107742155>OP's example (which happens often nowadays) is definitely caused by the very low bitratesOP's example is literally just gaussian blur applied to a picture, heavily compressed video doesn't look like that ever what the fuck are you talking about lol
Your eyes are getting worse
>>107741289I saw this thread on the reddit front page too!
>>107741289compression algorithms did this
>>107741289I refuse to watch anything below 1080p.
>>107742311I'd rather have good 720p than bad 1080p
>>107741289When I was younger VHS looked just fine, now it is literally unwatchable.
A high bitrate stream of ESPN at 720p looks better on my 4k TV than a 4k torrent download from yts. Can't skimp on the bitrate. You can argue about encoder efficiency but bitstarved slop is bitstarved slop.
>>107741289Someone needs glasses.
>>107741289Smaller Screen/Resolution & Bitrate DiffSimple as
>>107741289yeah nah I watch old achievement hunter vids all the time and xbox 360 gameplay looks exactly like I remember 720p just felt sharp back then because most people were on 480i crt's which look like shit regardless of what nostalgia fags say
>>107741289Adaptation. We humans adapt to anything. When we get something better we start seeing everything prior as worse. Just like going from 60hz to 120 and then back to 60. 60 always looked good prior until you tried something better
