Yes, there were three videos originally, viz.

16199062 goo-1-line-7-boot-4.8.0-1-amd64.mkv
15994161 goo-2-line-1-boot-4.9.0-1-amd64.mkv
10878351 goo-3-line-1-boot-text-4.9.0-1-amd64.mkv

(though I guess the precise lengths my depend on the software used to
download them?)

But that only translated to two youtube videos, viz.

4587493 you-1-line-7-linux-image-4.8.0-1-amd64.bootvideo-NLWB7FyV7jU.mp4
5927576 you-2-line-4-linux-image-4.8.0-2-amd64.bootvideo-Nc1lgpdgaxQ.mp4

I don't see a low-res period in either of the latter. I suspect the
OP didn't bother with the third video, notwithstanding the discussion
about it. Should I take it that the "HUGE" characters are just a
result of a period at 640x480 resolution?

But if the OP intended people to attend only to the rate at which
lines appear on the screen, then posting videos at 1920x1080 was
a waste of time for many, because the rate at which the video runs
is a function of the power of the recipient's computer. None of mine
are able to run these videos at all smoothly.

Cheers,
David.
