How much data can you store if you embedded a picture-in-picture file over a 10 minute video? I could totally see content creators who do tutorials embedding project files in this way.
- behnamoh 4y ago“hope you enjoyed this video. btw, the source code used in this tutorial is encoded in the video.”
- cush 4y agoYeah seems way easier than adding a link in the description
- daenz 4y agoLinks die. As long as the video exists, the files that the video uses will always exist.
- cush 4y agoAs if videos don't die...
- alexb_ 4y agowell the point is the video and the file are linked - the video cannot exist without the file
- cush 4y agoThis is a classic case of overengineering a solution to a nonexistent problem. On YouTube, the video and the description are also linked. They exist on the same page always. And even if the concern this solution is covering is what if the video is somehow shared without the description, away from YouTube, then the video could just as easily contain the description or URL or QR code pointing to the file. This is a just horribly unusable QR code.
- alexb_ 4y agoThe description is not big enough to hold practically any data. You would need to link to it from there.... at which point the two are no longer linked into existence. Links go down insanely often.
- cush 4y agoI'm not saying embed the file I the description. Add a URL that points to the asset like we've been doing forever... This solves nothing.
- alexb_ 4y ago>add a URL that points This works really well until it doesn't. I have seen so, so, so many videos have linked content in the description that links to sites which don't work anymore.
- cush 4y ago> links to sites Wait so your expectation is that instead of Youtubers using URLs to link to websites, you would prefer and expect that they download and embed those websites into their videos for you? Like, a zip file of the whole site? For.... convenience? Have you considered using archive.org or mirrors instead? There are an infinite number of better solutions for this...

- dsr_ 4y agoBack of the envelope estimate: 4096 x 2160 x 24 x 60 is your theoretical max in bits/second, 127 billion. Assume that to counter YouTube's compression we need 16x16 blocks of no more than 256 colors and 15 keyframes/second; that reduces it to 256 * 135 * 8 * 15 = 4.1 million bits/sec. That's not too awful. Ten minutes of this would get you about 300MB of data, which itself might be compressed.
- pstrateman 4y ago4k video is almost always 3840x2160
- kuschku 4y ago4K consumer video is 3840x2160, 4K Cinema video is 4096x2160. Just like 2K consumer video is 1920x1080 and 2K Cinema video is 2048x1080
- pstrateman 4y agosure, youtube videos are consumer though
- kuschku 4y agoNot necessarily — YouTube supports DCI 4K as well and videographers sometimes upload in DCI 4K.
- daenz 4y agoTo do PiP (picture in picture), you would be restricted to a much smaller size, but otherwise good calculations.
- accrual 4y agoWould storing data as a 15 or 30 FPS QR code "video" be any more useful? At a minimum one would gain a configurable amount of error correction, and you could display it in the corner.
