Why does YouTube videos with lots of greenery or trees cause lag?
In: Technology
Video compression helps remove irrelevancy from the data stream. So big slabs of one colour, for instance, compress well. But a tree blowing in the wind has lots and lots of detail so … no irrelevancy to remove. This makes it use up more internet bandwidth and, if the link is a bit shaky, causes buffering.
Great question, btw.
