Upload a ProRes 422 file to YouTube?

[Bret Williams] “Why would the YouTube version stutter?”
I get this all the time with higher quality videos at Youtube and especially at Vimeo. It could be my i7 MPB, but I doubt it. It might just be busy servers and Internet traffic. When there is something I really want to watch without stuttering or something I may want to replay portions of (like The MacBreak Studio stuff), I download it and it ends up being a much more pleasant experience.

[Bret Williams] “Good tune.”
Thanks, I appreciate that.

Hey Bret,

There is little point ‘now’ for uploading 1.5gig files that will be squashed to 69mb, however youtube keeps these files on the servers and when there are system updates uses the original files to generate the videos…

So as the codecs get better so does the videos… (how do you think they can support HTML5 when at one point they were only Flash?

Cheers,
A

I have to say I tried this uploading a Pro Res 422 version and a H.264 version of a trailer and saw much less compression and artifacts on the pro res version. Both were 1080p, I used the youtube h.264 preset for premiere and the pro res 422 preset downloaded for adobe media encoder.
