I'm not an expert in videos but as I mentioned I've studied a
few options last year before deciding to use archive.org as our
reference upload site.
I got curious just now, so I just uploaded two screenshots:

http://i.imgur.com/CEFCgAi.jpg with youtube.com
Indeed the archive.org resolutions looks visibly better; my
understanding is archive.org is streaming the very mp4 content
I uploaded to it. Could anyone give more detail on what
processing youtube does?
Thanks,

My opinion: good quality is nice for fans, but if your goal is to
target a large audience, go with the mainstream and post a link
to YouTube, which can be played everywhere: mobile, tablet, you
name it.
After all, it's not the Ironman movie, understanding what is
being said and being able to read the slides is good enough, and
streaming speed is more important than quality. I mean, what the
high quality is good for if streaming is laggy and the video is
not watchable?
