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.

Youtube should adopt some of Winamp's NSV technology. They're able to stream relatively high quality video at pretty low bitrates.
