  6. #InternetArchive video uploads: Changing .mp4 to .mpeg4 before upload means IA also creates an .mp4 w/ "quick start block" suitable to start streaming quickly. Both files stored on IA.

    BUT

    On 1 example, I dl'ed both original & re-encode, & original was much clearer. (Forgot to take screens before deleting)

    I guess when streaming IA defaults to its own re-encode. So when watching a video from IA, check "Show All" to find all available video versions & use the one is best for you.
