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?
I think that Youtube starts streaming at a lower quality and
finishes playing some amount of the lower quality buffer before
switching to the higher quality stream. If you kept watching the
Youtube video, it should have gotten better. If you switch to
higher quality, then seek back to the beginning of the video, it
will start in the higher quality.
