I wonder though Nalts - do you use Tape or an SD Card for your HD videos? I want to use tape but it uses the AVCHD codec - which is in its infancy. This gives me a good reason to get an HD camera.

I'll be adding a hack for embedding HQ vids soon too. It's different. I blogged about this at chvnx.com already. I’ll be adding a hack for embedding HQ vids soon too. It’s different.

Opening the same video at the same frame in two browser tabs shows there is more detail in one image than in the other. Everything is less muddy.

When I used the hack this text appeared at the bottom of the vid: "Watch this video in lower quality for faster playback." I also went into "Account" "Video Playback Quality" "Choose the default setting for viewing videos" ticked the switch, same text appeared. It worked, so you don't really need the hack. Next I tried FF downloader to see if there was any difference in dl quality, I noticed I now had two dl options, the .flv and the .mp4 the .flv was darker and softer visually, the sound was muffled. the mp4 was brighter, but fuzzier, the sound was stereo. With this enhanced feature... well frankly there's nothing on youtube I can't wait for, cept a Natls video. If you have cable or DSL the video loads pretty quick, If you have dial-up just get off the net. The quality overall on enhanced youtube isn't as good as what blip or revver offer, but it is a little better then regular YT. The better sound might be worth it. Still, YouTube is the Chevy of online video. I don't know if they can afford to make it much better with out complaints of congestion. Except for partner's videos I'm getting a lot more 500's again and videos that stop loading. What the heck is YouTube doing with all it's Google money?

It's nice that they're finally working on this, but I have the feeling it's going to be some time before the average user sees any kind of change to their video quality. I've been encoding my video for the HD servers at VIMEO for some time now, and i've been uploading the same encode to YT. The Vimeo vids look great, the YT vids leave a lot to be desired. Steve Chen claims that they've got all of the video stored in the cloud in it's original format (from before they run it through the YT encode process) and that when the go to higher quality all of the existing video would not need to be uploaded again if it was uploaded in a high quality format........ I'm not holding my breath.
