RE: Youtube To DTube Uploader Website
Right now, it just marks the 720p and the source as the same file just so there it's consistent with other videos. At the moment and probably well into the future, even if a video is uploaded in 1080p it only grabs the 720p as source. It is my current belief that with the current state DTube and for a while to come that 1080p is literally just wasting storage and bandwidth. 720p is 'good enough' for a rising platform. I know people love the idea of upload amazing 100 Mbps bitrate 4K videos to DTube but is it really worth it??? DTube doesn't have 50 exabytes of storage lying around like YouTube does!
Oh so I understand. I can still do 1080p vids, and put them to YT, and then DTube will gain from YT my vid without lost of too many storge :D
That is pretty unfortunate to hear: 1080p is the standard of today, and so is 60 FPS support. If the importer is limited to 720p only, I find that a huge limitation. Will your project be open-sourced at any point, so that others can use their own forks and work around this issue? If not I guess I'll have to import my videos manually.
