youtube has always converted videos to stupid framerates. This is why I like vimeo (too bad not much content variety on there). And 1080 at such low bitrates looks terrible anyways. They're just doing it to advertise it. I hope they don't get rid of the option for 720p because it's a much better middle ground. I won't be uploading 1080 videos anytime soon unless the overall internet evolves into hyperspeed and youtube jacks up the bitrate, which is unlikely soon.
But anyways, I've been using greasemonkey and a gnome-mplayer
script to replace the flash player (on linux). With that and vdpau, any hd video on there can be handled smoothly (except videos with the ad scheme, which seems to break things). Or at least it would be, but right now gtk seems to cause a bug which makes vdpau unusable on gnome-mplayer.
