Add 1080p fmt=37 and 360p fmt=34?

Oct 30, 2009 3:52am

There are 2 youtube formats not included in this script, fmt=37 (1080p) and fmt=34 (360p)

For fmt=37, it's frickin 1080p! Come on now, plain and simple - DO WANT.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUM1284TqFc&fmt=37

For fmt=34, things there are more complicated.

From the looks of it, fmt=34 has a maximum resolution of 640x480 (this means 16:9 content is 640x360), making it higher quality than fmt=18. It also has the same audio quality as both fmt=18 and fmt=35. (there are some freak random videos that use 854x480 for fmt=34, but their quality is still lower than fmt=35)

Now before you say "what's the point, fmt=35 is better", there ARE videos that have fmt=34 be the highest available quality. This means that when your script reports that fmt=18 is the best quality in these situations, it is WRONG!

HOWEVER, there is a catch. Videos uploaded before May 9, 2009 have their fmt=34 version be quite low-res (such as 400x226 or 320x240).

~~fmt=34 Example videos~~

fmt=34 is the highest available quality:

Here you go:

fmt=34 is added as FLV Medium Quality, fmt=37 added as MPEG-4 H.264 HD.

I don't know if it was from matej505's modifications or something else, but the script seems to be autopicking fmt=18 (MP4 SD) over fmt=35 (FLV HQ).

It isn't too hard to fix that i did it a long time ago to add 34 and pick it over 18 as it is better quality
http://pastebin.com/m8ba59e2

var videoFormatsArray = [{idx: "", label: "FLV Lowest Quality", shortlabel: "FLV", vq: 1, fmt_map: "", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 1, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "18", label: "MP4 480x270p 18", shortlabel: "18", vq: 2, fmt_map: "18/512000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 2, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "34", label: "FLV 640x360p 34", shortlabel: "34", vq: 2, fmt_map: "34/512000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 3, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "35", label: "FLV 854x480p 35", shortlabel: "35", vq: 2, fmt_map: "35/640000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 4, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "22", label: "MP4 1280x720p 22", shortlabel: "22", vq: 2, fmt_map: "22/2000000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 5, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "37", label: "MP4 Highest Quality 1920x1080p 37", shortlabel: "37", vq: 2, fmt_map: "37/4000000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 6, defaultChosen: true}];

Just search up "var videoFormatsArray" and replace that block with the one adding fmt 34 and 37 the script that was made was very nicely laid out and easy to understand if you know a computer language or two.

Label = the long label under the video
short label = the download link
i don't know the fmt map of 1080p but it doesn't seem to be an issue but the format of it seems to be
Fmt number/Bit rate in bites or w.e/9/0/115 and the 2nd number doesn't seem to do anything as i can leave it at 0 without breaking script

18< 34< 35

I made an edit of IzzyCraft's edit, mainly changing the labels.

var videoFormatsArray = [{idx: "", label: "FLV LQ 226p", shortlabel: "226p", vq: 1, fmt_map: "", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 1, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "18", label: "MP4 18 270p", shortlabel: "270p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "18/512000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 2, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "34", label: "FLV 34 360p", shortlabel: "360p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "34/512000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 3, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "35", label: "FLV 35 480p", shortlabel: "480p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "35/640000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 4, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "22", label: "MP4 22 720p", shortlabel: "720p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "22/2000000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 5, defaultChosen: true},
                         {idx: "37", label: "MP4 37 1080p", shortlabel: "1080p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "37/4000000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 6, defaultChosen: true}];

It'd be useful if there was someway to list the FLV and MP4 files separately for "download as", otherwise you'd have to specify in each file's label which would take up a lot of room.

IzzyCraft User

Haha i guess those labels make more sense to the avg joe then what i put

hum checked and no fmt = 400x226 with a 16:9 upload on vids (I find it funny as fmt=34 is youtube new standard and if you put your preferences without the script as play highest quality it is the standard, if you choose i have slow bandwidth 34 is the HQ) it's also the only format with H.263 and mp3 audio

So it's 226p wth is up with that lol that's a horrible resolution it's base 2 and i'm sure youtube encoder does do better with base 8/16/32 resolutions like most encoders.

Someone please tell me exact order from worst to best qualitity formats, so i will set it in my mod.

Nov 20, 2009 9:56pm

Mindeye Script's Author

"", "34", "18", "35", "22", "37" (I think). I'll add format 37 in next version

Nov 21, 2009 8:46am

Nintendo Man... User

^^Mindeye, I'm disappointed. Apparently you didn't read my analysis on 34, did you? (the opening post of this thread)

Videos since May 9 2009 are better quality than fmt=18. Videos before that are worse than fmt=18. For all intents and purposes, fmt=34 is better than 18 because that's what it's at today.

And IzzyCraft, I've fixed that label to say 226p.

Nov 21, 2009 9:02am

matej505 Scriptwright

Then i guess some date checker should be implemented.

Anyway here is mine version with fixed order

http://pastebin.com/m21a216d9

"",18,34,35,22,37 is that correct?

Nov 21, 2009 10:17am

Nintendo Man... User

I should mention that I did not check the status of videos uploaded on May 8th. In the test I did, the uploaded videos went from May 7th to May 9th.

^^Mindeye, I'm disappointed. Apparently you didn't read my analysis on 34, did you? (the opening post of this thread)

I've read it. I'll have to do my own tests on format 34, but, if your deductions are accurate, format 18 should still be above format 34, because there are quite more videos uploaded before May 9 2009 than after that date.

Nov 21, 2009 8:44pm

Nintendo Man... User

But that amount before May 9th is a fixed number. The longer time goes on, the more 360p versions will exist. Need I mention that fmt=34 is even YouTube's current default video format? "" doesn't really get used much if at all anymore. (I think it's just for backwards compatibility with older flash player versions not supporting h.264)

Nov 21, 2009 9:15pm

matej505 Scriptwright

fmt=34 is flv, so there is no need for compatibility with h.264

Nov 23, 2009 5:02am

Nintendo Man... User

...you've GOT to be joking.

FLV = container
h.264 = codec

Look up its specs in MediaInfo if you don't believe me.

Nov 23, 2009 3:42pm

Zarggg User

@matej505:
As indicated by IzzyCraft's analysis of the 18, 34, and 35 formats, ALL those videos are h.264 (okay, technically they're AVC, but h.264 = AVC).

This is a little bit outdated (posted by frifox@videohelp on Jan 2009), but maybe useful information to someone.

Oh and just to inform about fmt=34, some vids uploaded before May 9, 2009 are 640x360.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa3Ke8SNXAw

And some vids uploaded after May 9, 2009 are 320x240.

^^lol wut.

My guess is that's they're few and far between, similar to the random fmt=34 video @ 480p. Also note that on the blog announcement for 1080p, they proved that standard = 360p, and it just so happens that standard = fmt 34.

And yes that image definitely is outdated, since fmt=35 is definitely 480p.

No matter what quality fmt=34 is officially determined as, can it PLEASE be the default quality now? It's been youtube's standard quality for a few months now.

Absolutely love this script!

But here is a good example of a video where you get better quality with the script turned off!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo3LjWnbB4U

Dec 10, 2009 5:48am

Nintendo Man... User

^That's because the default quality, 360p (fmt=34), which also happens to be the highest quality available for that video, isn't implemented into this script. That's why I'm requesting it.

Dec 11, 2009 7:48am

freakonboard User

Is there a way to make the script to check the file sizes?

If fmt=34 is bigger than fmt=18, we will call it fmt=34(new), and vice versa for fmt=34(old).

So the order should be:
"", "34(old)", "18", 34(new),"35", "22", "37"

I know I'm bad at explaining, but hope you guys get the idea.

Add 1080p fmt=37 and 360p fmt=34?

Voices

Oct 30, 2009 3:52am Nintendo Man... User	There are 2 youtube formats not included in this script, fmt=37 (1080p) and fmt=34 (360p) For fmt=37, it's frickin 1080p! Come on now, plain and simple - DO WANT. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUM1284TqFc&fmt=37 For fmt=34, things there are more complicated. From the looks of it, fmt=34 has a maximum resolution of 640x480 (this means 16:9 content is 640x360), making it higher quality than fmt=18. It also has the same audio quality as both fmt=18 and fmt=35. (there are some freak random videos that use 854x480 for fmt=34, but their quality is still lower than fmt=35) Now before you say "what's the point, fmt=35 is better", there ARE videos that have fmt=34 be the highest available quality. This means that when your script reports that fmt=18 is the best quality in these situations, it is WRONG! HOWEVER, there is a catch. Videos uploaded before May 9, 2009 have their fmt=34 version be quite low-res (such as 400x226 or 320x240). ~~fmt=34 Example videos~~ fmt=34 is the highest available quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raXMkkRXv5o HD video lacking fmt=35 but not fmt=34: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYSyLpJjXQ fmt=34 @ 854x480: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn80xv-dtx0 one of the last low-res fmt=34 videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMTylXKa9to one of the first normal (and current) res fmt=34 videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeNCI0p_EBw

Nov 16, 2009 12:50pm matej505 Scriptwright	Here you go: http://pastebin.com/m1a2837dd fmt=34 is added as FLV Medium Quality, fmt=37 added as MPEG-4 H.264 HD.

Nov 18, 2009 11:23pm Zarggg User	I don't know if it was from matej505's modifications or something else, but the script seems to be autopicking fmt=18 (MP4 SD) over fmt=35 (FLV HQ).

Nov 20, 2009 1:05am IzzyCraft User	It isn't too hard to fix that i did it a long time ago to add 34 and pick it over 18 as it is better quality http://pastebin.com/m8ba59e2 var videoFormatsArray = [{idx: "", label: "FLV Lowest Quality", shortlabel: "FLV", vq: 1, fmt_map: "", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 1, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "18", label: "MP4 480x270p 18", shortlabel: "18", vq: 2, fmt_map: "18/512000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 2, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "34", label: "FLV 640x360p 34", shortlabel: "34", vq: 2, fmt_map: "34/512000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 3, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "35", label: "FLV 854x480p 35", shortlabel: "35", vq: 2, fmt_map: "35/640000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 4, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "22", label: "MP4 1280x720p 22", shortlabel: "22", vq: 2, fmt_map: "22/2000000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 5, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "37", label: "MP4 Highest Quality 1920x1080p 37", shortlabel: "37", vq: 2, fmt_map: "37/4000000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 6, defaultChosen: true}]; Just search up "var videoFormatsArray" and replace that block with the one adding fmt 34 and 37 the script that was made was very nicely laid out and easy to understand if you know a computer language or two.

Nov 20, 2009 2:59am Nintendo Man... User	I made an edit of IzzyCraft's edit, mainly changing the labels. var videoFormatsArray = [{idx: "", label: "FLV LQ 226p", shortlabel: "226p", vq: 1, fmt_map: "", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 1, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "18", label: "MP4 18 270p", shortlabel: "270p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "18/512000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 2, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "34", label: "FLV 34 360p", shortlabel: "360p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "34/512000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 3, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "35", label: "FLV 35 480p", shortlabel: "480p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "35/640000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/x-flv", QI: 4, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "22", label: "MP4 22 720p", shortlabel: "720p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "22/2000000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 5, defaultChosen: true}, {idx: "37", label: "MP4 37 1080p", shortlabel: "1080p", vq: 2, fmt_map: "37/4000000/9/0/115", MIMEString: "video/mp4", QI: 6, defaultChosen: true}]; It'd be useful if there was someway to list the FLV and MP4 files separately for "download as", otherwise you'd have to specify in each file's label which would take up a lot of room.

Nov 20, 2009 3:29am IzzyCraft User	Haha i guess those labels make more sense to the avg joe then what i put hum checked and no fmt = 400x226 with a 16:9 upload on vids (I find it funny as fmt=34 is youtube new standard and if you put your preferences without the script as play highest quality it is the standard, if you choose i have slow bandwidth 34 is the HQ) it's also the only format with H.263 and mp3 audio So it's 226p wth is up with that lol that's a horrible resolution it's base 2 and i'm sure youtube encoder does do better with base 8/16/32 resolutions like most encoders.

Nov 20, 2009 8:32pm matej505 Scriptwright	Someone please tell me exact order from worst to best qualitity formats, so i will set it in my mod.

Nov 20, 2009 9:56pm Mindeye Script's Author	"", "34", "18", "35", "22", "37" (I think). I'll add format 37 in next version

Nov 21, 2009 8:46am Nintendo Man... User	^^Mindeye, I'm disappointed. Apparently you didn't read my analysis on 34, did you? (the opening post of this thread) Videos since May 9 2009 are better quality than fmt=18. Videos before that are worse than fmt=18. For all intents and purposes, fmt=34 is better than 18 because that's what it's at today. And IzzyCraft, I've fixed that label to say 226p.

Nov 21, 2009 9:02am matej505 Scriptwright	Then i guess some date checker should be implemented. Anyway here is mine version with fixed order http://pastebin.com/m21a216d9 "",18,34,35,22,37 is that correct?

Nov 21, 2009 10:17am Nintendo Man... User	I should mention that I did not check the status of videos uploaded on May 8th. In the test I did, the uploaded videos went from May 7th to May 9th.

Nov 21, 2009 1:13pm Mindeye Script's Author	^^Mindeye, I'm disappointed. Apparently you didn't read my analysis on 34, did you? (the opening post of this thread) I've read it. I'll have to do my own tests on format 34, but, if your deductions are accurate, format 18 should still be above format 34, because there are quite more videos uploaded before May 9 2009 than after that date.

Nov 21, 2009 8:44pm Nintendo Man... User	But that amount before May 9th is a fixed number. The longer time goes on, the more 360p versions will exist. Need I mention that fmt=34 is even YouTube's current default video format? "" doesn't really get used much if at all anymore. (I think it's just for backwards compatibility with older flash player versions not supporting h.264)

Nov 21, 2009 9:15pm matej505 Scriptwright	fmt=34 is flv, so there is no need for compatibility with h.264

Nov 23, 2009 5:02am Nintendo Man... User	...you've GOT to be joking. FLV = container h.264 = codec Look up its specs in MediaInfo if you don't believe me.

Nov 23, 2009 3:42pm Zarggg User	@matej505: As indicated by IzzyCraft's analysis of the 18, 34, and 35 formats, ALL those videos are h.264 (okay, technically they're AVC, but h.264 = AVC).

Nov 23, 2009 5:09pm freakonboard User	http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2498/utubete... This is a little bit outdated (posted by frifox@videohelp on Jan 2009), but maybe useful information to someone.

Nov 23, 2009 6:09pm freakonboard User	Oh and just to inform about fmt=34, some vids uploaded before May 9, 2009 are 640x360. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa3Ke8SNXAw And some vids uploaded after May 9, 2009 are 320x240. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceKIN272dmQ

Nov 25, 2009 8:13am Nintendo Man... User	^^lol wut. My guess is that's they're few and far between, similar to the random fmt=34 video @ 480p. Also note that on the blog announcement for 1080p, they proved that standard = 360p, and it just so happens that standard = fmt 34. And yes that image definitely is outdated, since fmt=35 is definitely 480p. No matter what quality fmt=34 is officially determined as, can it PLEASE be the default quality now? It's been youtube's standard quality for a few months now.

Dec 9, 2009 1:29pm Siggi Jarl User	Absolutely love this script! But here is a good example of a video where you get better quality with the script turned off! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo3LjWnbB4U

Dec 10, 2009 5:48am Nintendo Man... User	^That's because the default quality, 360p (fmt=34), which also happens to be the highest quality available for that video, isn't implemented into this script. That's why I'm requesting it.

Dec 11, 2009 7:48am freakonboard User	Is there a way to make the script to check the file sizes? If fmt=34 is bigger than fmt=18, we will call it fmt=34(new), and vice versa for fmt=34(old). So the order should be: "", "34(old)", "18", 34(new),"35", "22", "37" I know I'm bad at explaining, but hope you guys get the idea.
