Youtube now in Super HD!!!!!!!

I got them synced by offsetting the time and then clicking play at a certain time interval! hehe!



My life is officially pointless.
 
rick roll or no rick roll, this could be done with Vimeo too

not a bad hack to get actually streaming HD....

(I guess we have had multi-display TV for donkey years, this is just the cyber version)

the guy even did a mini tutoiral on it!! (take from the HTML source file):

Hehehe... so you were wondering how this thing was done didn't you?

Well, ok, I'll give you a quick explanation... So I bought this DVD that had these 2 videos,
you already know very well the other video so I though I should illustrate you with the
*new* one. Then it was just a matter of letting VirtualDub (http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/)
do what it does best. I managed to crop the video in 4 and having the first one with the audio.

At first I though FLV decompression was going to be hard for any CPU and having 4 videos
playing at once was going to be hard, but in the end it wasn't too bad. My iBook G4 wasn't
able to handle it, but I guess it's old enough to ignore. Then some problems on the flashplayer
for Linux appeared. The top-left video had a lot of delay, that video was the one that had
the music, so I though it was just a matter of the FLV player having problems there.

Anyway, the next day, I removed the audio from the first video (i,e cropped it again
with virtualdub but without the audio), and then created a new video (black) with the music
and if you take a look at the code, you'll see that there are 5 youtube players. Well, video0
is the one that plays the music, but as you can see on the styles, it's hidden. So if something
goes behind the rest will be the music, and well, neither in the original video the music
was 100% synced so I guess it does properly it's job.

It was just a matter of having the idea and spending a couple of hours on it, hope you enjoy
it, feel free to do your own versions! Hopefuly youtube won't mind ;)

PS: There is some people out there reversioning the file making it lose the control bars so the
four videos match perfectly. Well, I think they are missing the point, the idea wasn't to overuse
youtube, the idea was more on the joke side; nobody is actually going to upload 5 videos for
a little bit more of quality isn't it? Well, I hope nobody takes this seriously and does it :D

Cheers!
