:Does YouTube keep the full quality uploads of the videos so they can go back and re-encode all of the vids later as the codecs improve?
The shaky or high motion videos on YouTube suck due to them being .flv's and the horribly low bit rate they use. Even then, my CPU fan on my laptop cranks really high when watching YouTube vids. Can Series 2 Tivo's handle the CPU load?
I would think they do because they re-encoded their entire library to h.264 for apple and the iphone/ipod touch since neither device has flash.
