Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

:-)

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

It'll be on the ABC ME watermark-free episode tonight if anyone wants to grab it.

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

What time and channel?

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

I just looked, 10 pm to 11 pm. I shall be recording for Kim watermark free!

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

You're doing a copy for Kim!

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

And of course I forgot to record ABC Me rage tonight...

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

One thing about new release videos - more often than not you can download them from YouTube in HD with no titles or watermarks, and they are official copies from the record company’s or artist’s channel. And so it is with this one.

Why have a rage logo and SD/faux HD when you can have it clean in true HD?

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

Some of us are old school :)

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

With New Release videos I barely record anything but I am so glad that rage are playing Kandy Krush from Kim quite a lot as Kim Wilde is my QUEEN and I love that such a great track and video are being played.

HD for new material is great so yeah and I guess on You Tube you have no logo in 16.9, though having the title and the rage symbol in the beginning doesn't phase me so much. And having it from ABC ME with no logo is brilliant just with the title of the song and the rage symbol in the beginning.

YouTube isn't really true HD though. If you compare the file size of an actual HD video to a YouTube 'HD' video, the YouTube file is much smaller.

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

File size isn't everything - in fact it is an unreliable guide. It depends on the video encoder used and the native resolution of the source material. YouTube full HD *is* true HD (1920x1080 progressive) and uses H.264 encoding which is much more efficient than MPEG-2 (used by digital TV, DVD's and early Blu-rays) at around 25-33% of the bytes required to get similar quality. And it looks fabulous on a Plasma HD TV.

The bitrate of YouTube Full HD is around 3 Mbps - less than digital TV's 4-6 Mbps (even for HD), but the picture quality of YouTube HD is better than broadcast HD for the same bitrate.

The thing to watch out for though is a lot of people "upscale" SD or even lower resolution content to 1920x1080 and then they call it "HD" in their upload to YouTube but it isn't remotely that - it looks crap and it's a disease that is rife across YouTube.

But if the HD encoding is done properly from the HD source, which is what the record companies do, it is indeed true HD and looks great.

Re: KIM WILDE Kandy Krush video on rage!

Yes, there's a lot of fake 'HD' videos on YouTube that look terrible. I don't see the point in upscaling SD myself, and always upload SD material in SD... even if YouTube does downscale 576 PAL to 480p.
