Anyway, to answer your question. Quality on the Tube and other video streaming sites will always be lacking. The best way to get the best quality (streaming video or not) is if your video file is initially high quality. Meaning, no WMVs. AVI with an Xvid codec is okay. Best be an MP4 from Zarxgui. This is assuming that you are already editing to high quality footage. High quality would be DVD quality. Downloaded footage is meh. You actually have to clean it up and what not. It's something I'm not too good, but don't run into because I rip from my DVDs.
Refer to the "How to Guides" on the front page of the site. With that said, seriously, as much as I watch videos on streaming sites it can never compare to a download of the actual video file. With some people going as far as to render videos in HD and with just great resolution, streaming sites are nothing compared to them and definitely take a way from the experience of watching the video.
So no boochsack :)

Psh... Whenever I upload something with a h264 encode, youtube lags the hell out of it! :lol:

Yet another reason why the org is better.

Just wanted to say, if you add "&fmt=22" to the end of a youtube url, it will directly play the source file instead of the flash conversion.

And not that it has to do with anything, but I find it cool that youtube has now made 16:9 it's native AR.

it's annoying when you have a 4:3 video playing. Black bars on the top and bottom make sense, the sides....I just hate it

. what really makes me mad is "not" having a "selection button" for stereo
built-in when watching these McVideo's ... typing "&fmt=18" after each line
is really tiring T_T and is truly not necessary in todays proramming environments.
