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,

The DConf 2013 videos are streamed from YouTube in HD, and the
quality is quite good, but the DConf 2014 are not streamed in
HD, and can make it difficult to read some text on the slides.
I don't know why they are different. Perhaps the DCOnf 2014
videos were re-encoded at a lower quality before they were
uploaded.

I take that back, this DConf 2014 video
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNvUIWFy02I) is streamed in HD.
I'm not sure why the others aren't.
