I know I'm always years behind when it comes to popular YouTube videos and I wouldn't be surprised if you knew him already, but I have only just discovered that guy and... he's quite nice actually.

That's Rob Scallon if I'm not mistaken. The reversed Enter Sandman cover was insane

 

[520RanchBro]

That video is pretty great, solid player too. Man I'm sick of Ukuleles though.

  Oh my god. I randomly stumbled upon this post 3 days ago when Metal Alchemist linked me this thread.
EDIT2: And thank you Metal Alchemist too for introducing me this thread

.

 
There it is, folks. Not only am I the Music Alchemist; I am also the Metal Alchemist!

Hahaha..... Sorry for messing up your name

Best bitrate they had was 192kbps for HD. I don't know if that has changed since they introduced 4K. Vimeo has much better video and audio encoding compression at least, you get 320kbps.

What encoder YouTube uses for their AAC streams is still anyones guess, but it's been like this for some time now.

I remember you recommending fidelizer. If i understood it right, you must restart it every time you resart your pc. Had you found a way to make it stay open, besides writting a script for this?

256k AAC is for 1080p?

Congrats, you are now also officially immortalized in the pantheon of metal (for me it happened last year at Burning Man where I did a black metal-only DJ set and played so loud that - I kid you not - the generator started melting and I had to cut my set short).

You really hate when I have fun, don't you? <3

There are paid upgrades with more features.

256 kbps AAC is indistinguishable from lossless. (Unless you can prove otherwise with a documented listening test.)

That's not nearly as cool and legit as having your name misspelled in an internet forum.
Try again, poser.

Yessssssssss.

What I mean is, is 256kbps AAC used for 1080p buffering on youtube?

 

[Music Alchemist]

Yessssssssss.

 
ehehe! At least it's fun having a friendly arch-nemesis. Some of your jokes in the anime thread were priceless. Like that one about me being the sole survivor of laboratory experiments done by my father to create a super-human. XD

Oh. I dunno. But for me it doesn't matter, because no matter what it is, it's often going to be compressed more than it leads on.

I haven't checked that, but I'd expect the 256k rate to hold for medium resolutions as well.
After all, the gain in reduced data rates (to accommodate lower bandwidths) are rather small when stepping audio down from say 256k to 192k, compared with the gains when stepping down from ~4.5mbps (1080p) to ~2.5mbps (720p) video. 64kbps saved by reducing audio quality by a notch, vs. ~2000kbps saved by reducing video quality by a notch.
