Of course thats the reason.....to save diskspace and bandwidth....cos low resolution, low bit rate, low frame rate clips are small files....and decent quality clips require a file size that is many times larger.
But there is an old saying....."if you can't do the job properly.....don't do it at all"....i.e., if you are going to tout that you have a great video hosting service...and you want to attract lots of traffic so you can sell advertising space....don't come out with a service that is totally crap.
Another saying is..."if you can't stand the heat....then get out of the kitchen".....which you can translate into...."if you can't afford to get decent servers and buy enough diskspace and sufficient bandwidth in order to support decent quality videos........then you should not be in the video hosting business".
Mind you....it would be unfair to pick on Youtube alone.....cos Myspace video hosting and Google Video are totally crap as well.
If I were going to create a website like Youtube....I would say.....In order to get all that traffic and advertizing revenues away from Google and Myspace....I need to create a website that offers BETTER quality videos than Google Video does......but all Youtube and Myspace have done is to emulate the same crappy low res videos Google are doing......merely reinforcing that old phrase....you gets what you pay for....and when you pay peanuts...you get monkeys....ha ha.

By Victor - victor.ivanovich@mail.ru Sun 14/05/06 12:17:50 GMT Why? Don't they allow to post clips with higher resolution in order to save the bandwidth? Any other reasons? |

By MK - wamtec@compuserve.com Sun 14/05/06 09:49:54 GMT There are some.....but as with all Youtube videos, the video quality is just appalling. Youtube videos are terrible quality...low bit rates, low frame rates.
The best thing about Youtube is....it's a good resource to find out about some tv clips that you may have missed, so you can find a low res Youtube version....but it is not worth saving, cos the quality is so bad, but it lets you know to hunt for a decent quality version of that clip.
Youtube is OK as a reference tool.....but it is lousy as a video hosting service cos the video quality really sucks.
