Yeah... Some of the older videos prior to this change didn't respond well to this "feature", even on decent connections, and while the theory is to keep the video going no matter what until a higher quality stream is ready, people who don't have the bandwidth to handle both at the same time get screwed by it.
YouTube also used to buffer videos entirely, but that changed at some point too.

Exactly. That's the same encoding my MP4 files have, and the quality after uploading to YouTube was lousy.
Try re-encoding to Xvid AVIs with MP3 audio compression and see if that helps. ;)

Either way, I was just mentioning the effects Content-ID can have on monetization. Content-ID matches and copyright strikes can occur all the same, monetized or not.
wrote:I don't think that is correct. I already had at least three videos where I got copyright notices directly after it was processed by youtube.
I'll say it again: Content-ID Matches and Copyright Strikes are NOT the same thing!
When you dispute a Content-ID claim, you're basically telling YouTube to "make my video work the way it's supposed to until the Content-ID match holder says otherwise". The dispute claim is sent to the person who uploaded the Content-ID material who then must decide if your dispute is valid or not. Some Content-ID holders will make an effort to adequately handle this situation, but some will just be dicks and say your dispute is invalid, even when it's blatantly obvious it IS valid. Under those circumstances, when you're 100% certain you're in the clear, you file a more official dispute that basically challenges the Content-ID match holder to take you to court if they're so certain the match is valid.
Copyright Strikes, again, MUST be initiated by someone manually. They DO NOT happen automatically and trust me, you will know the difference between the two if it ever happens.
