H265 please. 60fps is nothing of interest if the quality is subpar.

That's like asking why people get carsick but are fine when driving the car themselves.
Anyway, I don't see this as a huge issue being Chrome-only. Seeing as this is probably not going to work with Flash players, I'm guessing it'd only be a matter of time until the other browsers just implement whatever HTML5 code they're missing to get it to work. Unfortunately, Firefox seems to be pretty far behind. That still can't play 1080p on HTML5.
Does get me to wonder though, how much more bandwidth and disk space google is going to have to give up for this. Also gets me to wonder why Blu Ray never offered 60FPS from the beginning (correct me if I'm wrong).

Why are they then? lol

Psychological thing. When you see motion but you feel the motion in a different direction (or maybe not feel motion at all), your brain confuses this with being dizzy. Dizziness is often (naturally) caused by poisoning. Normally when your system realizes it is poisoned, it tries to purge it, hence the vomiting.
I'm guessing 60FPS videos are the same way. Some people are very sensitive to the extra frames, and they're seeing very smooth motion in a very unnatural way. This is why movies at 24FPS look fine but a 60FPS game can still look choppy - you're supposed to be seeing stuff like motion blurs, which don't always show up in 60FPS videos.

Never had any issues with it myself, many camcorders create that smooth 60fps feel, TVs with fake 120Hz active vision create a similar effect, never felt anything bad from it, I don't like watching films with those sorta frames as it makes them look cheap, but never felt ill from them
I have however felt extremely sick very quickly, which lasted for hours after playing Dreadhalls on the Rift DK2 - I immediately felt like I was sweating and boiling hot and almost physically sick
Had to time out for a couple hours to recuperate, something to do with using both analogue sticks to move and strafe, and also having head movement along with positional tracking, all those combined really messed me up in just a couple of minutes

Ugh Chrome only? and i just started using Firefox again...

A video camera at 60FPS won't make you sick because the animation is very natural. But, if you don't get sick from video games then a camera obviously would have no effect on you either. Video games and other artificial animations have to simulate the natural movement of things. It seems to me most people aren't affected by this. But yeah, your experience with the Rift is a solid example of your brain thinking you're poisoned. The Rift might have an effect on you because it is FAR more immerse; it's hard to subconsciously prepare yourself that what you're looking at isn't reality.

What are the bitrates for 720p/1080/1440 ?
kroks
even with html5 player it's only 30fps on firefox and 60fps on chrome :3eyes:

Firefox needs MSE to be implemented.
It looks like the nightly has it.

Looks like I won't be getting it any time soon then (FF28) unless someone manages to create an addon

"Chrome only"
Move along, nothing to see here.

Was watching a guy driving with a gopro mounted...bleh. I hope this is only a placebo effect, I would like to enjoy the new tech. 😀

it's youtube so probably 3 kilobytes an hour
Corrupt^
All my vids were 10.000 to 25000 kbit/sec on youtube, most of them 60 fps just in case youtube would ever support it.
The extra youtube compression on top ruins it for me tbh :s

The uploaded vid is nowhere near that blurry on my PC in VLC/MPC-HC.

Ah, yea 60fps being mounted on the head of someone driving around might give some motion sickness 🙂
When I first set up Eyefinity, games knocked me sick for the first day or two, but your brain soon adjusts and apart from rollercoaster sims, I don't feel sick at all now, actually, I can make myself sick, if I turn all the lights in the room off and play a flight sim and do some barrel rolls, then your brain has nothing stationary to focus on and you feel as if you are actually spinning

The best possible quality you can get on YouTube is an UNCOMPRESSED FILE - let youtube do their cakky compression for you.

This is why I rarely play BF4 😀
I don't have the reaction times to play against people that good, or even half as good, by the time I see an enemy and aim, Im dead 3 times lol
