You should have seen the original comparison video clip. The youtube version was really bad, totally out of focus and pixelated. I redid the video and uploaded it to both resulting in what you can see at the link above. The resolution is still off as is the color fidelity, just not as bad as it was.

I suspect that some of the folks that have really good YouTube video quality are in a special class (Director??) with YouTube. One such person is smpfilms - Corey the safety guy. Look up the Mean Kitty rap - really good quality. I use Pinnacle 11 to render my videos and even HD video don't come out very well. DivX encoded ones seem to be the best.
