You can 99.99999999% of the time rule a video a hoax or ignorant tripe without pouring over the video itself. Just use common sense, reason and logic and it will save you a ton of time. seriously, try it out...you will find that you can dismiss pretty much most of them without even worrying about the quality of the video.

there was a guy on youtube making CG ufos, he was pretty dam good too, some of them had me thinking, I hope the good hoax people end up working for movie companies!
