This is one of four video tests conducted on the same clip. Here are the others: Unprocessed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62OQU4Eep_M Pre-processed (VirtualDubMod, deinterlace, resize 480x360, x264 @ 3000kbs): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YPyz7qQspE Pre-processed (VirtualDubMod, deinterlace, resize 720x480, x264 @ 5000kbs): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8GXk7EQMgc One other thing I just noticed: If the aspect ratio is of CERTAIN pixel dimensions, e.g., 720x480, YouTube does an on-the-fly squeeze (stretching the image horizontally). You can sometimes see this in action in the first fraction of a second of the beginning of a clip (refresh the page; don't click Replay or move the slider back). In the 480x360 version, YouTube doesn't force this "dynamic squeeze". YouTube should allow the user to control this.
