Congratulations to a fellow Aussie.

For an embarrassingly long time I read your name as Otteropo which made me confused as to why you had a Comodo Dragon in your avatar.

you must have made them think you were an aussie. :-) special treatment for them aussies you know !

I guess Aussies don't use the expression 'ear worm'. It's not exclusively a German term, we use it in the US all the time.

Congratulations! Your video, The difference between soccer and Aussie Football, has reached the #1 spot in the current Top 15 New Videos listing. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish but you managed to pull it off. For your contribution you have been awarded 2 Power Points.

What is AFL? Aussie Rules Explained has been added as a related post - related requested by RFlagg.

This. Though the description gets it right. Funny enough I just watched a video about it yesterday.

EDIT: And to show the AFL isn't above such things themselves... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXLr2_tGSpo?t=1m34s

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Or a good goon box. (Aussie invention)

I saw a report in the local rag that they've also made one where they caught some Aussies, funded by Labor, trying to sabotage the Trump and Clinton campaigns (they're only supposed to be observing).

They summed up Project Veritas Action as "using questionable techniques"!

I for one would be more surprised if you couldn't find enthusiastic supporters of ANY of the campaigns pushing the boundaries.

That "ghost voting" shit is infuriating. We elect these fucks to do *one* thing -- represent us by voting for their constituents interests in the legislature. But instead, apparently they'd rather spend time doing other things, like "entertaining" lobbyists.

We need that rule like I remember Australia (any Aussie sifters confirm that?) having, where the public can vote to "take a mulligan" and completely sweep out every single member of the legislature.

The YouTube bitrate for live encoding is published on the google support page titled Live encoder settings, bitrates and resolutions

720p
Resolution: 1280x720
Video Bitrate Range: 1,500 - 4,000 Kbps

The normal encoder is likely to use better compression to reduce the bitrate while maintaining similar quality (in theory anyway) at the cost of not being realtime (after you upload a vid it takes a while before the encoding is finished and all resolutions are available).

According to http://blog.waterworld.com.hk/post/hd-quality-youtube-vs-vimeo the normal youtube encoder is limited to 3Mbps for 720p, but Vimeo is limited to 10Mbps (similar to a DVD).

What the higher bitrate means depends on how fast your internet connection is. If your connection speed is between 3Mbps and 10Mbps then this means that yt 720 will play without buffering, but Vimeo will stop. If your connection is 10Mbps or higher then the higher bitrate means nicer looking video with less compression artefacts.

Here's a bitrate comparison 2Mbps vs 5Mbps vs 10Mbps from the Aussie YouTube channel Tech YES City


YT is actually limited to 8Mbps for 1080p so for certain videos, with lots of motion for instance, the Vimeo 720p would be higher quality than YT 1080p.

Stereotypes go best with a grain of salt.
Jokes require a lack of seriousness.

And feeling a necessity to apologise after being referenced as "polite" is Canadian.

PS: this Aussie liked the concept presented as humor, regardless of accuracy and northern comforts
