@craig i think you have to be a plus or business member @ Vimeo member on Vimeo to have 5.7 and 8K in the settings! but i might be wrong?
5.7 an 8 K videos are for high speed internet connection only
500mbs and higher.
So it is not many that can go to the higher settings without lots of buffering in the player
that is why i seldom use it on my videos it is mere for fun actually
what connection speed do you have today ?
i am on a 500 x 500mbs fiber in the countryside in Sweden
I have roughly 1.5Mbps speed in a suburb of California. There is fiber 1 mile from my house, but there is no service to get it here.
However, this doesn’t explain why I am having problems with this video on YouTube. I would think that the original format would be stored on the server and listed with youtube-dl.
In the screenshot below, the 5.7K video is not listed.
On the first video, the YouTube server is not listing the 4K or 5.7K formats as available to any browser. I suspect that even with high bandwidth, you won’t be able to see the 5K option with this video.
I think Google the owner of YouTube measure your low connection speed and your attempt to upload the same file several times
In my experience HEVC 265 37mbs 360 will be rendered to AVC 264 20mbs on The Google server, the only way to keep the higher bitrates are to post and stream it from your own homepage, but it is actually very few sitting on ordinary office computers that can see it even as downloads locally on the hard drive
If your site are hosted on on a server with SDD hd and a lot off memory a
HEVC 265 37mbs wil show up in good Quality and play well in newest Microsoft Edge
Version 98.0.1108.62 (Officiell version) (64 bitar) browser on an high speed internet connection.

hi, @Svendus ,
this video plays only in 1080s (HD) at my place, are you sure it’s 5.7k?
I’ve fiber internet 200-300mbps stable international download speed and ~100mbps upload, able to play 8k videos without issues. As I know anything above 4k is coming as vp9 from google for sure, but even those lower resolutions are transcoded to vp9…
Regarding viewing h265 directly in Edge: it work sonly if there is a hardware decoder available on that machine, if it’s not then it doesn’t play, regardless of browser.
@biviel
Yes you are right on a PC you need K-Lite_Codec_Pack
on a Mac it installs automatically

is a 5.7 K Video
it is Sunday let us se to morrow if Google finish the job
Here is an old one in 5.7K shot with my Garmin 360 camera 30 may 2018
This video 5.7K were shot in RAW with a Gamin VIRB 360 Camera
Stitched, Edited and rendered in Garmin VIRB Edit
I Wonder if it has any meaning Shooting 5.7 K raw Video
All rigth the Computer can Handle it and Stritch and render the Video in VIRB Edit in 1:2 +
The time consuming are there for 4 times longer than a ready stritched 4K 1:1 rendering
The latest Firefox has great difficulties to play 5.7 K
Note: here the Latest VIRB Edit for Windows software version 5.4.2 are not compatible with the latest Microsoft Windows 10
Version 1803 (OS-version 17134.48) but has to be run in Windows 8 compatibility mode to prevent heavy blue screen crashes
On the 2nd video with the “Vertical Woodsplitter”, I can see the 5K option even at low bandwidth from my house.
On the 2nd video with the 5K options (Vertical Woodsplitter), the bitrate for the 5K file on the YouTube server is only 12Mbps, which is lower than the bitrate for the 4K file.
You need the codec when you streem 5.7K and higher from a webpage or server
we are not alone it migt be a temporary bug on the Google server
several reports have been on Facebook groups with this problem
The video are stitched in Insta360 Studio 2020 Bg.

@craig No not lately actually i think we should report the bug to Google
To Day i am more into Virtual tours i think Multi Resolution Panoramas are muck more informative
and requires much less bandwidth see this example from THE Chernobyl Reaktor https://svendus.se/blog/?p=3333#.YiB6nJZwE08
The Tschernobyl Reactor tour is awesome. Thanks for posting it.
I think that the virtual tours might be too difficult for many people as I believe it takes more skills to take the picture and then arrange the tour. Are there any automated software that automatically takes video at 8K and automatically makes still image virtual tours from it?
You’re using Pano2VR, right? Or GoThru?
For my purposes, I am hoping to write a guide to help people use the 5.7K video from the THETA X. As the camera has this higher resolution video, I would like to help people share the videos that they take with the camera.
Does Facebook or any other site allow the free sharing of 5.7K and higher video for free? It seems like the best way to get people to start sharing is if the service is free. Most people probably want to try and share clips first and improve their technique before they pay for a service.
