https://goo.gl/CEsJyN After making (and uploading) videos to YouTube for about a year, we finally decided to go behind the scenes of YouTube and ask the YouTube engineers how YouTube actually works. In this video, we learn what YouTube does to videos after they’re uploaded. And in Part 2 (
http://g.co/go/NLyt2) we learn what’s actually happening when you watch a YouTube video.

And thanks to our friends who made the awesome video To Scale: The Solar System (

hamsterallianceYoutube'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.

antSo, what's a good streaming video host then? Vimeo?

hamsterallianceVimeo 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)

antI wonder if there are any streaming video hosts can do original qualities.
