Youtube is degrading audio after upload, and this will affect the Demoscene
Quote:
Degraded links you provided seem to be mono(ish), while the nicer ones are properly stereo. Currently, YT is using Opus as audio codec, at quite high bitrate, so there should be practically no audible differences. Some time ago it was using other codecs, which especially at lower quality settings could be audibly worse, even downmixed to mono. Perhaps degraded videos are from the era of those worse codecs, even if currently they got transcoded to Opus (and transcoding itself can introduce artifacts too). YT surely isn't the best place for archival purposes, for many reasons (including political cancel culture). Last edited by rutra80; 24 November 2021 at 14:29. |

Never thought people actually take youtube seriously as a proper archival place.

YT always re-compress uploaded video (as such there is no sense in doing UHQ and time consuming compression in uploaded videos) - to deal with YT internal compression profiles it is recommended to up-sample video resolution even to 4k this is usually best way to force YT to allocate more bit-rate for video and for audio.
