| Look at this page. There is an interesting title there: "What's the Best Quality for Me?".
It is easy to understand that YouTube believes that the choice of video playback quality is at the user's side, not the author of a piece of art. Reading an article in the magazine is just the same. You can simply browse through it or you can read it carefully. It's reader's choice, not the author.

| Any thoughts?
Try hosting it on your own web server, then you can have it display in any size you wish, right out the gate.
Not everyone wants HD immediately. Many people use their telephones to watch videos, their screens and bandwidth don't matter, right? Lets keep those Cel Towers hopping trying to push more and more to an already taxed system.
When people get too lazy, to choose a size on YouTube as a viewing preference, they may as well just lay down and let the machines take over...they're already body dead, why not brain dead?
Many people, including myself will start viewing something and realize it isn't what they expected and switch to something else. Why waste the initial streaming bandwidth displaying it in HD when you aren't going to finish it anyway?
Now we are back to the 1st comment. "Try hosting it on your own web server, then you can have it display in any size you wish, right out the gate. "

Hi Igor, thanks a lot for your input!
This sort of confirms our fears, but at the same time, it makes us wonder how come the big studio trailers, and big money animation groups (and several of the mid-range ones) a-l-w-a-y-s manage to find a way to have their videos playback in the highest quality??
Even though, as you pointed out, YouTube seems to decide for you...we are convinced there has to be a way to consistently play high quality.
For example....check this out (done in Blender I believe):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QscURRuF0g
This one plays at 360p if you leave the defaults....and how about the quality!?
It's amazing!!!!! Super sharp!!!!!! No sacrifice in speed/performance...everything moves and looks hyper crisp!!
Even at low resolution the quality is obscenely good!!!
What's the trick!?!?!

| Try this settings for uploading your files to YouTube:
- file size must be smaller than 100 mb;
- file format must be *.flv;
- use Sorenson Spark for Flash 7 codec (not VP6 for Flash 8).
Three years ago this trick worked 
For uploading to YouTube I use:
- file format *.f4v
- codec MainConcept H.264 Video
- HD (1280x720)
You can see quality here: one or two
Additionally you can try HandBreak (free video transcoder). It has lot of settings.

| Thanks Igor for the great post!
We are still looking for a place where to download: Sorenson Spark for Flash 7 codec. We could find the new (and VERY expensive one), but the 7 version alludes us for the moment....
We are downloading Handbreak right now...
Let's see how it goes!

| the only work around I can think of ....is posting it offsite. Wix just went HTML 5, and you can make an amazingly beautiful flash page for free and make your video on that page as big as you want .....it WILL play at the size you embed it at....the auto-resize only happens on youtube.
I think youtube users have a choice of not being force fed hd as their connections may not be stable, and if you select HD it will play whenever it can.
As far as the "Big Money animation" companies, I think that answers it self, 'big money'
I think if you told youtube you'd give em a million dollars for your video campaign, they would tell the users to upgrade their computers if they had to lol.
ps - i am so not liking the new playlist style youtube has endorsed, it looks huge and clumsy, it always makes me feel like it's covering up part of the video and I can't minimize it smaller than what feels like some toddler toy size. Not enjoying the new changes.

Its not much of an issue to me. I know how to change the resolution and I do so if necessary or warranted. To my knowledge the "Use HD in full screen" does work when available.
Hi thebiz.movies, we were just testing Vimeo vrs. YouTube side by side...
When it comes to which service gives the audience the best quality by default (without having the user/audience having to do a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g, besides press play)...HANDS DOWN it's Vimeo.
They basically have 2 settings: HD-on and HD-off.
When Joe the Plumber plays our video in YouTube...it's a quality roulette...you as a producer have no idea what quality your audience will get when they watch your video on YouTube...to say that's annoying is a gross understatement.
But on Vimeo it really plays the best quality possible and the videos look as best as they can be!
