Question

Videos Blur When Paused

Why do uploaded videos blur themselves when paused?  Sometimes it's helpful to pause a video to take a closer look at what is being shown, but with the blurry image it's impossible.

 

See the videos in the following thread as an example:

    By blurring, do you mean darkening a few shades?

      That's it exactly.  Darkened and blurry.  Can't read anything.

      Totally agree.  Also don't like how the videos start off using a lower resolution (fuzzy) and then switch to a higher resolution part way through playing.  Makes it hard to tell what's going on.  Wish you could just pick the playback quality/speed (like YouTube.)

      Okay, this is really interesting.  Chrome gives an option to choose the video quality but Edge (Windows 10) does not.  Here is a screenshot from Chrome:

      I just tried Firefox 59.0.1, Chrome 65.0.3325.181 and IE 11 on my Windows 7 PC. 

       

      FF & Chrome were dimmed & blurry when paused, IE was just dimmed.

       

      All had the video quality options.

       

      All were low resolution / blurry for the first few seconds.
