Videos can be posted to Archive.org, which also will make a .ogv derivative of it. Unlike Youtube, Archive does not seek record company licenses, block on a per-country bases, nor scan content for 3ed party content. No law requires Youtube to do it eithert due to the DCMA "safe harbor" provision-but Google is so big my guess is they feared the record companies would get the law changed.
That scanning was why I dumped Youtube back in 2010.
