Youtube limiting html5 3D to 360P? Is it just me?
I just went to upload a video and realized it was capped at 360P. I thought it was strange then realized all videos were stuck at this limit. Anyone know anything about it?

Don't know about uploads of 3D, but I can offer that 3D playback is working for me at 720p. For example: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSNoFLPFn9M[/url] 20G maximum limit, maybe it automatically trims quality for space or something weird?

Bingo;)) and that is the reason I made my own website for Proper 3D videos... Youtube and 3D is cr@p... the maximum I could get was 720p.... not even 1080p.... Imagine a 3D Vision Surround movie scaled to 720p....all that detail gone... (actually all the information in the movie was gone) So...yeah... Youtube is max 720p in 3D;(

720p I could live with. TBH I have trouble getting qualitity of a fraps recording higher anyways [stutterring/whatever] But for some reason Im capped at 360p atm. I cant change qualitity just 360p/auto.

From what I understand is that it isn't "true HD" it is upsampled, nothing on youtube is actually 1280x720 or 1920x1080. They just raise the bit rate.

If possible, people should encode at a high bit rate and upload that, even though upload takes a long time. They treat it as a 'golden master' to downsample to all other formats, and they don't ever upsample.

@eqzitara: This is your video, yes? [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CZAyedfG9E[/url] The Wolf Among Us? When I play that movie back, I do have 720p option, and it seems to work correctly. 3D is available too, looks right. This might be the answer: [url]http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/0tKkG90i7I4[/url] Two things- 1) there seems to be a bug where only the person uploading it can see 360p, everyone else sees normal. Maybe use an alternate user in Chrome to see what others see. (Settings->Add New User) or Incognito mode. 2) There is a time delay while YouTube processes the video, and can be as long as 24 hours before HD shows up. Low quality versions show up quickly.

I'm having a similar issue. I can't seem to get any 3D video to play in over 360p with Nvidia 3D.

I'm having this problem now too. Anything using HTML 5 for 3D only offers 360p now. If I switch to cross-eyed, I can get 720p.

You know! I had this idea (still have it) to add support to upload a video at full resolution FULL side-by-side on my website so any use can upload it (not necessarily surround resolutions) The only down part would be that you need to manually encode it before on your PC and that could take a while. I tried to make a script to run on the Server side but it eats all the CPU and well is a shared server not a dedicated one (and they asked me not to do it:)) ) But I was wondering if people are actually interested in this;)) It's actually the reason I started the website since YouTube is acting very weird and so on...

So also others have the same issue. It was bad enough that Youtube does not even support real Full HD for HTML5 3D, but 360p is a joke. Is this a Youtube issue or a nVidia issue? Is there any solution?

Doing some research, I think I've hit upon some of the details here, but don't have a solution. I think that NVidia needs to re-release their plugin for Mozilla to handle changes that Google made to YouTube. A couple of things always bugged me, like trying to run a video in 3D, and having it say it's not available in HTML5. Why? The answer is- anything ad-supported or monetized must use the Flash player so the ads can be shown. HTML5 doesn't show ads, and hence all ad based videos are blocked. We require HTML5 for 3D Vision to engage, because that's how the NVidia plugin works. Also, HTML5 used to allow 1080p videos, but that was killed off last summer, and HTML5 in 3D or 2D only support 720p and 360p now. It's still not clear why 3D only gets 360p, but I suspect it's because of the underlying change that killed all resolutions. This appears to be part of a move toward adaptive streaming, where there are no more choices on resolution, it just uses the best your connection can provide. That is also apparently why they did that stupid thing of putting resolution into the popup box with lame controls. All that is probably going away. Anyway, no answer for the 360p, but maybe that is still helpful.

It got even worse on Youtube when using 3D. When I put a new 3D video on my gaming channel I have seen that the video in the anaglyph 3D viewer suddenly was extremly small, so not only is the HTML5 part not working, also the anaglyph part has a new bug. Somebody found out that you have to add yt:crop=16:9 to the tags to fix that. Youtube does not want to be a video plattform any more, they want to be a crappy copy of facebook.
