New YouTube Player To Stream Better Quality Videos
The one big reason why I prefer Blip.tv over YouTube is that the former preserves the quality of the original video. On the other hand, YouTube automatically resizes the video clips (to 320×240) and also reduces the quality during the encoding process.
But here’s some interesting news for content producers as well as YouTube viewers - when a video is upload onto YouTube servers, it is encoded into low-res Flash video but at the same time, YouTube also stores the original video clip in its native resolution.
YouTube is now testing a new video player that detects your internet connection speed and stream higher quality video if your prefer so. According to Webware, high-quality YouTube video clips will be available to everyone within three months.
Considering that all popular TV show episodes, movie trailers and music videos are already present on YouTube, this move from Google could bring delight to millions who have replaced their TV sets with the YouTube player.

Being able to stream videos on a website is super important, especially in this day in age of multimedia awareness. I actually just reviewed a program that makes this easy for webmasters. I think its great you bring it up here because lots of people have no idea how to do it so they don’t bother even trying. And it hurts their sites in the end.
