Omak, WA | Bottom Line. The higher the bitrate the less they can host. BW isn't cheap, I'm personally happy with the current bitrates, though the ability to change its size might be nice even if its a little more washed out. |

Sterling Heights, MI | I would rather seem them upgrade their video player. Whenever I move the circle to advance in the video, I can never place it where I want it. |

YouTube HD not worth it... YouTube finally SD: Priceless... Would be nice of them to bring their streaming content up to the 384-512Kbps level, it would make a nice improvement in PQ.
If course the quality of the uploaded source material matters greatly....
Greatly compressed HD streams would probably require at least a 6-10Mbps downstream connection, which is not practical for their service.

YouTube could make their player have the ability to chose the quality of playback - just like some players do for Yahoo and others. That way they could still satisfy their dial-up and slower broadband users, but allow their fast broadband users to experience the highest quality that the native clip provides.

Re: Bottom Line. BW isn't cheap but you just might be able to get some big ISPs like Verizon to subsidize it. Crap content or not, the providers need demonstratable reasons why people should opt for the more expensive, faster broadband packages. YouTube HD with a smattering of real HD content might offer that.
As things are now you can stream almost anything with even a pokey 768/128 connection. |

Their embedded player no longer has the option for fullscreen either.

Greatly compressed HD streams would probably require at least a 6-10Mbps downstream connection, which is not practical for their service. Youtube should adopt some of Winamp's NSV technology. They're able to stream relatively high quality video at pretty low bitrates.
