Re: View higher quality videos on YouTube
Authored by: hoofed on Apr 17, '08 07:15:12PM

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.
