Title: You Tube
Post by: Slack on April 17, 2015, 04:55:32 AM
The last time I posted a video to youtube was over 10 years ago, way before 720 and 1080p qualities were available.
This last weekend I made a nice riding video and wanted to upload it. It took 6 hours to upload (20 min. long at 1080P) At first only 360p quality was available while watching. Now (4 days later) i can choose up to 720p quality. Why can't I watching it in 1080p and why did it take a few days before I could watch it at 720p?

Takes longer for YouTube to encode the higher quality stuff. When you upload it to youtube and it basically says "encoding complete" that's just for the lowest resolution.

The higher resolutions take longer depending on a couple different factors, but it's normal.

Is the video you recorded in 1080p format?

If I upload a video from my phone, I have 4k playback capability within the hour, those are much shorter, of course. 30-60 seconds versus 20 minutes.

Yes, 1080p format

(my first time ever on this stretch of road. I saw it looked pretty good on a map and headed that way)

Hm, yup. Only 720p for me, as well, still. Did you fool around with the upload settings, or did you just default?

Also, what exhaust is that? Me likey

default settings.

I like the exhaust too  :embarrassed:
Good old Suzuki OEM HA!
I've just got a lunch box K&N. It's actually more throaty intake noise.
I really like it. It's quiet when your just scooting around under the radar, but when you open it up it has a nice rumble without letting every cop in the county know what your up to. I guess you could say it's satisfying without annoying or bothering anyone else.

EDIT: It's also the cheapest exhaust on the market  :D

Sweet, I have a lunchbox around here somewhere as well. Waiting on a rejet before installation, but I'm excited to have it now that I heard that sweet purr of yours.
