Where is the business model!?

the problem with youtube is quality.

The problem with Youtube is the quality of the video encoding that is really sub-par compared to other offerings like Stage6 or Atomfilms.

I like web video, but it must look good full screen on at least a 17 inch screen and acceptable on a 32 inch TV. Most of the videos from Stage6 do, the ones from Youtube don't.

The good things with Youtube is that it's easy to embed a youtube video in your own website and that there is a lot of searchable content, but until Youtube provide full screen quality close to SD TV in full screen I'll stay away from the service.
