hi

[@siervoplayz777]

Wow! Haven't seen an R46 in a while. Seems like they are slowly fading away. Nice vid

[@SupremeOverlord1270]

Have you seen the Q or any train on the Broadway line?

[@siervoplayz777]

@@SupremeOverlord1270 No because I don't live anywhere near the transit system. I usually see vids and when I visit NY, I only see the Jerome Ave section.

[@overly7997]

for some reason only 4k is showing up and its the highest it'll go

[@MrRailfan]

Yea looks like yt compresses raw 8k footage down to 2160p. Wanted to see if it was worth shooting in 8k as it takes up a lot more storage space.

[@aserenezephyr]

​@@MrRailfanwould love to see the file posted on a site that doesn't downgrade and compress as much as KZbin.

[@UltimateAzumanger]

actually, youtube now shows 8k playback as an option here. i guess it must take quite a while for all the quality options to be available.
