Give this one extra time to buffer... Via
Slashdot --
"I was checking out anime OP/ED videos a while back for a series I had started watching and came across someone that has somehow tricked youtube into letting ultra-high resolution videos on the site.
Here's an example:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2Vtrmpol390 [youtube.com]
Notice that the "clock" on the player says its 9:59 long. Note that the streaming hiccups and stutters because the actual video is only 1:30 long -- just like any other anime OP. The time-code computation appears to be totally off for this video, but the quality is fantastic. Listen with good headphones -- the audio and video quality are both fantastic in this video.
Now compare to a "normal" youtube version:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=B5PoF34qM0o [youtube.com]
This person's other movies are all other anime OP/ED sections that all say they are around 10 minutes long, but in reality are all 1:30 or so.
So it seems this person has figured out how to exploit something in youtubes video analysis/recoder to get ultra-high quality audio/video, at the expense of breaking the media-length calculations."

ricinsays...It's done by changing the bitrate and duration in the FLV via a hex editor.

I don't believe it works anymore, though.
I'm sure we'll see official support for HQ videos very soon. Especially now that Stage6 is dead.
