https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/e007a96e-8d5c-40b7-a433-200fe0ca779e Dave is running a test upscaling his 1080p 50fps footage to 4K UHD (3840x2160) 30fps and uploading to Youtube. Rumour has it that Youtube is supposed to detect this 4K footage and give better quality converted video quality. Can you see any difference between this video at 1080p and this other one uploaded at 1080p? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q95mfnmMdwA And if there is a quality difference, is it worth the extra file size, rendering, transcoding, upload, and youtube processing time? Render times for the 5min video are: 4K = 17:29 1080p = 1:59 Transcoding (Handbrake) times: 4K = 6:53 1080p = 1:09 Filesizes: 4K = 1281M 1080p = 312M EEVblog Main Web Site: http://www.eevblog.com The 2nd EEVblog Channel: http://www.youtube.com/EEVblog2 Support the EEVblog through Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/eevblog EEVblog Amazon Store (Dave gets a cut): http://astore.amazon.com/eevblogstore-20 T-Shirts: http://teespring.com/stores/eevblog Donations: http://www.eevblog.com/donations/ Projects: http://www.eevblog.com/projects/ Electronics Info Wiki: http://www.eevblog.com/wiki/ 💗 Likecoin – Coins for Likes: https://likecoin.pro/@eevblog/dil9/hcq3 Thu, 14 May 2026 18:06:49 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/e007a96e-8d5c-40b7-a433-200fe0ca779e All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
