Vimeo is better, but it's still pretty low. I'd like for their bitrates to be at least double what they are right now. 4x would be ideal, but I know even 2x is asking a lot.

For instance, the "Posing and Rendering CGI Characters" video from Filmmaker IQ:

Youtube 720p - 782 kbps video (44 khz 125 kbps audio / 178MB file)
Vimeo 720p - 1,077 kbps video (48 khz 256 kbps audio / 135MB file)

Youtube 1080p - 1,474 kbps video
Vimeo 1080p - 2,545 kbps video

Also, if downloads are enabled for the video on Vimeo you can download the original file, which looks like this:

Vimeo 1080p original - 10,100 kbps video. (1.35 GB file)

Youtube's video compression is overly-aggressive for my tastes. As someone who enjoys watching and uploading videos with a lot going on in them, it sucks to see Youtube eat those kinds of videos alive.

Short version: completely destroy it.

Hey, it's Jory from Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This? I haven't seen him in a video in a long time.

So, which one of them didn't drop their camera when that happened and where's that video?

Season 2 Episode 6 of Rick and Morty is all about this idea, and it's great.

I'm ready for more Rick and Morty!

That's a big porta-potty. It's like twice the size of the others.

Porn always gets a bad rap for things that just aren't true about it. Just, holy shit the vastness and variety of porn!

Batman the Animated Series is the first TV show I ever bought the DVDs for. It's the definitive Batman to me. The animated movies are great too, like Under The Red Hood, The Dark Knight Returns, and Mask of the Phantasm.

I would watch this.

1:20 The WHOLE WORLD wanted to kill that hummingbird.

Cats are such jerks.

Might wanna scan the horizon first for the kind of people who'd jump you for hitting a woman, even if she were stabbing you in the side and stealing your kidneys in broad daylight.
