Is there an easy way to download off of youtube one of DConf talks at the same quality as the archive.org content? -- Andrei
No, because of the re-encoding already mentioned. Re-encoding can never result in quality equal to the original source, unless you're re-encoding to a lossless format (which would almost always be pointless for various reasons).
That said though, YouTube's higher-qualities really aren't too bad, IME. Their encodings have come a good way since their horrible, horrible quality early years. Of course, I still think it's very good to offer the original non-reencoded version too.
