View higher quality videos on YouTube
Too bad even the highest video quality from YouTube, isn't quite good enough for what we should expect (or at least hope for) for posterity, from a service that may have become the biggest repository for videos the public has access to. I hate to think, with all the time and effort expended by the people creating and posting videos on YouTube, that the resolution of all these productions is being cut by at least half, even at YouTube's highest quality. Anybody know if the versions YouTube receives, are higher resolution, and if so, whether YouTube retains them in storage at that original resolution, but just streams them at a lower resolution?
Re: View higher quality videos on YouTube
YouTube almost certainly does not keep the original video files once they have been transcoded. It's a lot of extra storage for the **just in case we need to transcode them again** scenario. It's not an unreasonable expectation that the video author keeps a copy of the master file, thus can re-upload the video in higher quality at a later date. |
