tysm. I can't seem to play this much at all. Very choppy. I don't understand the point of upscaling if the source is 720p. Either way, tysm for the upload. Guess I need a new PC/GPU or something to play these.
Isn't this being broadcast as 2160p? I seem to remember an announcement that football would be broadcast in 2160p by broadcasters using the feed from the 1080p cameras on the field and upscaled. The idea was the quality wouldn't be improved by the upscaling but broadcasting in 2160p would get viewers used to using that resolution. Not sure artificially using up more bandwidth is a good solution but I can understand the broadcasters wanting to get viewers ready for the future of hi-def.
Personally, I have never viewed 2160p content (except a small test file to be sure I actually can) because the size and complexity are too much for my hardware and playback is jerky and out of sync. 720p @ ~6,000 kbs bitrate is a sweet spot of quality vs size and ideal for me. 1080p at the same bitrate is also viewable, though the files are larger; higher bitrates @ 1080p, such as the 10,000+ often seen here, can't be played by me. I would strongly support double-posting on the 2160p (or high-bitrate 1080P) files - with an additional 720p version @ ~5-6,000 kbs bitrate. When files here are too big I have pretty much always been able to find a more decent size (at least 720p) elsewhere but I'd rather get the smaller alternative versions here, if they were available. The tracker that was the gold-standard for American football (TYT?) no longer has much support for NCAA games (with only a few schools regularly uploaded).
PS - I am a huge fan of HEVC-h,265 @ 720p with a lowish bitrate. For a decent encode, there seems to be no loss in quality vs h.264 and the files are ~60% (or even less) of the size.
