Youtube supports resolutions of 4k, I don't see the problem with
quality.
Somehow the same DConf videos are of better quality on archive.org
than on youtube.com. Could you explain that? -- Andrei
archive.org serves the same file you uploaded to Youtube, without change.
Youtube always re-encodes the video, for various reasons:
- sources are very heterogeneous
- multiple formats needed for various devices, various resolutions, and
bandwidth adaptation
- insanely low bitrates (3000kbps for 1080p H.264 is scarce, yet it's
not so bad with the encode Youtube does)
So while Youtube quality might be worse, the used bitrates are probably
not the same. My opinion is that it's best to let Youtube serve the
content for maximum reach.
And you can always download a high-quality version from YouTube in
various formats (including the original format) using something like
ClipGrab.
