High Quality YouTube Videos Coming
Anyone who has ever uploaded a video to YouTube, or watched a video on YouTube, knows that the quality isn't exactly something to write home about. To keep bandwidth costs and service speed up, YouTube administrators have, up until recently, limited uploaders to 100MB file size, and cropped all files to the paltry 320x240 resolution. YouTube already announced plans to increase the storage space, and now they are planning on doing something about the resolution. All files uploaded to YouTube are of a much higher quality, and some are even high-definition (1280x720 or better). YouTube representatives recently confirmed that YouTube does store the original versions, and only makes the compressed/shrunken version available to the average viewer. YouTube is currently testing a new version of the YouTube player, which determines your bandwidth, and adjusts your video quality accordingly. If all goes well, you can expect high-definition YouTube videos within three months.

Hell yes, I'm so tired of seeing sad 1600x1200 videos shrunk to a mess of 320x240 (and the aspect ratio often gets screwed up, so you don't even get a letterbox, you just get a small messy blob with a few faces you can barely make out).

Well, since YouTube is FREE, I'd stop complaining. No one's forcing you to watch anything.
