Somehow the same DConf videos are of better quality on archive.org than

You're streaming and not downloading from Youtube. I always download
longer video clips from Youtube. I don't want any buffering while
watching.
Is there an easy way to download off of youtube one of DConf talks at
the same quality as the archive.org content? -- Andrei
Do you increase the resolution of your Youtube videos when you don't
like the quality that it's streaming?
I streamed at maximum resolution (720p) when taking those screenshots.
It's not clear if you are
complaining about the quality because you're on a slow network and
Youtube is giving you the low-quality encode, or if you don't like their
higher-quality encodes also.
I'm not complaining about anything, just trying to find the best solution.
If you click on the Settings icon that looks like a gear below the
video, you can force the quality as high as the original video uploaded,
by changing the default "Auto" resolution mode. I can't complain about
their HD encodes. As for downloading from Youtube, that's not really
officially supported, but scripts/apps like the one linked earlier will
do it.
Have you looked at Vimeo? They're probably the second-biggest video
site after Youtube and are sticklers for quality resolution, as they
used to focus on the indie filmmaker community, and they officially
support downloading videos, if the uploader chooses to enable that option.
Yes, I have, and rejected it last year (forgot the reason why). Maybe
the reason has disappeared in the meantime.
