Anyway, to answer your question. Quality on the Tube and other video streaming sites will always be lacking. The best way to get the best quality (streaming video or not) is if your video file is initially high quality. Meaning, no WMVs. AVI with an Xvid codec is okay. Best be an MP4 from Zarxgui. This is assuming that you are already editing to high quality footage. High quality would be DVD quality. Downloaded footage is meh. You actually have to clean it up and what not. It's something I'm not too good, but don't run into because I rip from my DVDs.
Refer to the "How to Guides" on the front page of the site. With that said, seriously, as much as I watch videos on streaming sites it can never compare to a download of the actual video file. With some people going as far as to render videos in HD and with just great resolution, streaming sites are nothing compared to them and definitely take a way from the experience of watching the video.
So no boochsack
