Surf NYC (4K resolution)

[@emarten76]

He's going to be waiting a long time for a wave...

[@Pluvillion]

The first 4K video on KZbin. Yes, you read that right. The site started supporting 4K videos in 2010. However, like with our case with 8K today, it was barely possible to play 4K videos on a capable device without it being choppy. You have to spend $$$ for a device in order to view and even record 4K videos properly. Crazy how long we've gone. Though frankly enough, this video being in 4K makes it feel like it was recorded in the late 2010s to early 2020s despite being a decade old. In comparison to most videos that were released in the site during this time, this sure was a technological advancement. I wonder how 2010 computers would handle 4K60fps videos?

[@leberkassemmel]

i can watch it only in 240p =(

[@ronsonmobile]

Some sick tubes u rode in this video my dude thanks!

[@LeahByrn]

913,061 people TRIED to watch this

[@DJC_Paris]

And ONE succeeded haha

[@PsychonautTV]

Not many people have a 3840x1080 monitor. It's not possible anymore with the new AMD drivers.

[@lextube]

Watching this on a 2560x1440 27" screen. Looks awesome.

[@RandyJamesMix]

Surprised by everyone who's never seen the ocean flat. Pipeline in Oahu is flat all summer. You'd never know it hits 20+ for weeks in winter. NYC / LI season is August-November (hurricane season) we hit 10-15 shore breaks with a current that would make you piss. I'm sure most y'all writing negative comments wouldn't get in for that and never have! True surfers with real spirit don't put down a fellow surfing community. Many transplants in New York but those of us born and bred, we're ocean folk. Fishing boating surfing you name it. They hold the quicksilver pro here in Long Beach sometimes. The breaks in Montauk are famous. You're cool for being from Cali, brah, but nobody gives a fuck

[@RandyJamesMix]

Get in when there's snow on the ground, the water temp is 33 degrees air temp in the negatives with windchill, not a soul to be seen unless you go with somebody, then talk shit about New York / east coast surfers! You wanna see dedicated passionate badasses, or you wanna act superior for surfing in perfect weather all the time? Everyone knows west coast is soft ;)

[@ghanathinktank]

no waves in NY. go to belmar.

[@lihclore]

LEGEND COMMENT, NY LIVES ON, WE ARE UNDERRATED

[@Generalkidd]

If you guys want a smoother frame rate at original resolution, you should try to watch this video on the Internet Explorer 9 Beta. For some reason, this video plays better in IE9 and the sound is also perfect and not choppy. I guess for now, IE9 is faster than Google Chrome or any other browser. But we'll see how the final version turns out.

[@thlamz]

third day buffering and loaded the first 3 seconds

[@llsinisterll]

jesus the one video that gives my six month old sony z series a run for its money but wow is that resolution just breathtaking!!!! this proves streaming is the future and theres no going back now!!!!

[@bikelifeplug]

whats he waiting for? i hate the east coast KOOOKS I guess thats head high in nyc

[@RandyJamesMix]

Bikelife productions ... we live by the ocean dude, same shit as whatever super awesome place you're from. Sometimes it's flat sometimes it's raging

[@EeveryThingTech]

Playing at 4K... Awesome Pictures... Playing at 1080p... WAIT WHAT ITS A VIDEO AWESOME!

[@mikewinburn]

marvellously shot and presented story! no problem viewing in 720p

[@Fbrave]

4K looks great!!!!

[@CarspotterJeroen]

Looking good!

[@lextube]

Don't know why people are complaining of performance issues. Set to original watching this at 2560x1440 res I am getting an ultra smooth framerate on the video. It looks incredible.

[@SOMcenterROAD]

the video's quality is amazing, and for those who don't know, 4k quality is like 4 1080p screens put into one

[@koldstudios]

to watch it full resolution you have to make it full screen!

[@Jackplisk]

great definition,I watched in 1080p ,its perfect.

[@Tomtuber1988]

Those NYC waves sure did look great

[@danieladonis23]

240p + Full screen... best combination ever

[@veronica888romy]

omg they're so clear ~ !!!

[@mickvandert]

Wow those wave are hard core!!!!!!

[@100alanmurphy]

so clear its great

[@erikvanconover]

Loved the color grading you used...but surfing lake Atlantic lol? FLAT

[@overcooler]

If you right click on the video and select "show video info", it actually says, that the resolution is 2048x1536. Now that's only 2k. 4k resolution is 3840x2160 or 4096x3076 or something like that. The horizontal resolution should be around 4000.

[@doug905]

Even in 1080p this still looks nice.

[@chineefoo]

besides the mechanics of this video - its beautiful, thank you

[@Kentiapalme]

this RESOLUTION is a REVOLUTION!

[@TheLukylie]

thank u for the fresh american dream in my london life in the autumn colours:)) thks

[@Generalkidd]

@5xa lol yay! Internet Explorer rises again! I'll admit, I've been a die-hard Google Chrome fan for many years. I gave up on Internet Explorer 7 and didn't bother to use Internet Explorer 8 that much. But Internet Explorer 9 had me sold from day 1! Aside from a few issues in the Beta, IE9 is the best web browser currently available in all aspects.

[@lextube]

@OscarBPmusic yup

[@ireallywanttodirect]

Awesome detail in the shadows. Highlights not blown out. Impressive. Most impressive. Would love to know if you shot this with RED ONE, EPIC, or film?

[@MrDobeosan]

on 27 imac look amazing !!!!

[@KrewKid707]

This looks absolutely amazing the detail is unbelievable...Whoever it isn't working for make sure you hit "original" and not 360p...And you also have to have a 1080p display at least..all this talk with 25 ft screen and stuff well yeah that's technically true as far as Pixels but the detail you see in the screen comes from what it was filmed with

[@SpyderBlackOfficial]

You will see the most difference when this is played on a 4k capable projector. Still looks nice

[@yazzledazzle96]

This is amazingg!!!!

[@Generalkidd]

@pacorocks1 oh well maybe it was the overclocked GPU that made the difference instead of my overclocked CPU.

[@Generalkidd]

@pacorocks1 The Dual Core was overclocked a bit though and I also overclocked the GPU a little bit, although I don't think the GPU makes much of a difference here. And I never said the video was perfect. It just wasn't as laggy as what other people have described. A few frames were definitely dropped during playback.

[@miniskunk]

Runs smooth. Can't tell if frames are skipping if they are. NIce to see a video feed that truely gives my display full resolution instead if the heavily compressed so called 1080p that youtube normally provides.Yes you have to let it buffer up a bit before playing but that is understandable. HP Envy 17 laptop, 1080p display with i7 running at 2.7ghz turbos to 3.8ghz and Radeon 7850m graphics.

[@aaronl22]

chrome canary makes video load time almost instant! Im amazed

[@hghm1]

Thank you

[@RawVisionFilms]

Looks lovely good stuff

[@h4x0y]

@gainpro 5:4 is mainly the 1280x1024 resolution which is hard to find these days. and 16:10 WAS a standard until about 2008, now all leading companies are striving towards a consistency that all monitors are 16:9 (whether media or computer indrusty), you can have a look at their websites to see their current products. Density is higher on the 27", if you do the math, it's 109ppi for the 27" and 101ppi for the 30" with 2560x1600.

[@Jcbproducoes]

loved the slideshow in 4k

[@h4x0y]

@gainpro apples 27" display is great for prosumers. Higher quality displays are only needed by specific professionals, and cost some grands more than apples thunderbolt display. Generally all 16:10 displays are being replaced by smaller, higher pixel density 16:9 displays (30" 1600p -> 27" 1440p, 24" 1200p -> 21" 1080p). The industry is moving towards 16:9 and you can read as many articles as you want about it, prove me wrong. >1080p is still a tiny percentage of monitors at the moment.

[@quickysnare080]

This is so clear! I have a quad core pc, and its taking almost 90% of it to run this video smoothly! lol

[@MGSFan09]

@ChillaxedJosh I noticed this myself and found out the reason why. When you select 1080p youtube only streams a limited number of Mbps, therefore giving you largely compressed footage (in fact if you zoom in close enough you can see 8x8 pixels). Whereas when you select 4k or Original the allowed number of Mbps (or bandwidth) is hugely increased giving much more detailed and less compressed footage. - Jamie

[@MrEduardKhil]

Woah It's pretty smooth, I'm surprised!

[@bokichung]

tasteful clip. i used to live in nyc. can't imagine trekking out there to surf... what? ... flatness... sadness... but i enjoy your skateboard + surfboard combo, well done =)

[@BeamJinn]

Ooooooh, no lag for me! Yay! Very nice video.

[@MasterTRGame]

omg 4k is amazing :D

[@xNerdalertx]

great quality for youtube!

[@Cherrythief1989]

Coolest stop animation movie, ever.

[@AlexanderNVIDIA]

Love this~

[@suppemedrejer]

I'm lovin my Macbook pro retina right now...

[@Nos0]

nice slideshow!

[@LizardKingxo]

Amazing

[@TechnomTigerGeek]

to be honest I cannot really tell the difference between 1080p unless you put this on a theater projector

[@Poshgirl26]

superb quality! :O

[@sanosukekursch]

@Deanzsyclone That I doubt, unless you're talking about highly compressed 1080p videos. This 4k resolution is used primarily in cinema projectors, it's not for your tv or monitor, but as this things always progress, the resolutions will be increasing, and people will be able to take advantage of this format, but when that time comes there'll be even higher resolutions available for other purposes.

[@greengio]

great work man!

[@S.IVmusic]

looks good.

[@NanoTechEnt]

Awesome. This will go great with our new Nuvola NP-1. The very first 4k streaming player!

[@Tekkenfreek234]

This is the only video for me that plays somewhat smoothly for me in 4k, but it still kills my browser. That, and I can't see much of a difference above 720p.

[@cesarbrandi]

@Jordilueza Of Course there is no difference, your screen is in 1080p. The video has a higher resolution than the screen, so the definition will be the same as 1080p, since it the screen is 1080p. You just can see the difference between 4k and fullhd watching the video with a 4k screen. =)

[@suppemedrejer]

Well ... You Know ... Incredible ... Unbelievable ... Amazing ... Exceptional ... And stuff ... You Know ...

[@RealCaptainPower]

2010. Digital videos catch up with the analog ones in quality... Wow it took them long to become that smooth! XD

[@TalKissos]

wow nice waves

[@D.Dohoczki]

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ribenawrath]

@theguywhokillyou some iMacs can display 2k. It's just future proofing, this is the way digital is going, so why not prepare now?

[@JouwTuube]

Downloaded realtime and played smooth :D Happy with my computer.

What is layer (black edge): 1920 x 900 ? Thanks! Amazing video!

[@PaceyPimp]

@AleksandrsLV its becuase most video card drivers had no drivers for this resolution so it would render it under the cpu now that most drivers are up to date and so is flash

[@bburago9]

Hey, I'm probably gonna buy that mac so can you tell me how good it looks

[@SecZero1]

nice video, awesome quality and finnaly no lag on my system :P

[@theinterportal]

@ArtOfWar08 You don't need an i7 just to process 4k, as long as Flash has GPU acceleration enabled, it will run well in any modern CPU, including the Core Duo and Pentium (Dual core, Merom / Penryn based). Although, i am interested in seeing how my soon-to-be 11 inch MacBook Air with an i5 and HD3000 perform playing 4k.

[@HyRsTrMaGe]

Opened 3 tabs in original quality and was pretty smooth on my laptop. (:

[@exon576]

@Smolandgor Your GPU doesn't matter,youtube supports gpu acceleration only up to 1080p... 4k is processed 90%(or more) by your cpu. This is why 4k videos need four core cpu.

[@albinfiskare]

works fine with 10/10 here!

[@antoinesaloumi]

Lol 4K is the resolution they have in movie theaters.... finally someone's going to watch youtube in his personal movie room x)

[@Haftepaff]

I've read somewhere that most anime is in 720p, so there won't be much of a difference. If we're lucky then 1080p will be mainstream in the anime industry when 4K becomes available. They're preparing the 4k monitors in case they're hosting the olympics 2020 (if memory serves me right).

[@dylanyevans]

That dude is gonna catch some mad surf on them waves.

[@christopher8116]

It played quite well on my connection, it wasn't perfect but overall at full resolution it was watchable. Then again your monitor, bandwidth, video card all play a factor. Good to know I can watch 4K video, I won't push to 8K !

[@AngryApeTV]

Wonder how long it will be before 4k comes to consumer level camcorders and TVs, my guess is 5-10 years.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

I have a Mac and when it comes to Original HD, It almost looks like it's smooth but it still has some bumpy frames along the way. Everything else on the other hand, it looks great. =D

[@metal571]

plays fine in 4K on an HD 5770 with an Athlon II X4 635 @ 2.9 GHz, windows 7 professional x64, chrome 8 stable

[@heartSLB]

@TheFantasticCorndog lol, mine was a slideshow as well, and I´m on a Mac.

[@youtooxxx]

anybody knows what camera capture this amazing footage.

[@RobertBabington]

@TechnomTigerGeek The idea behind 4k is that it allows you greater options when it comes to editing and compression. If your laptop or computer or TV doesn't have a resolution higher than 1080 you won't be able to see the difference. However if you had a $1,000 Dell monitor or a 27" iMac you'd get better quality results. I don't think there are any full 4k TVs, projectors or monitors out there but I could be wrong.

[@OzuEnma]

This video loads without problems here xD and its awesome *-*

[@Gazooo29]

very nice,what camera setup was used btw this is a 4 year old compaq laptop G wifi card and the video was smooth and glitch free.

[@ricbi]

Great images!... sadly no surf in NYC ;)

[@angrymarketing5]

Japan is already preparing to adopt 4K TV chanels in 2014. Can't wait for delicious 4K anime.

[@TalKissos]

runs perfectly on my mac!

[@suburbia116]

in full screen, it looks just like a blu-ray playing

[@krazykizza]

Looking good in 4K

[@BOB1BERSERKER]

now i need a 4k res 85inch flatscreen

[@zoomtko]

I did expected more quality! but thats good enogh for streaming video!

[@duraiden]

@joshuavdv 1) BluRay has a lower compression ratio (and therefore takes less CPU power to decompress). 2) Flash is an inefficient platform for video. Test it on as many systems as you want if you're not going to take my word for it. It's your time, spend it how you will.
