Youtube really hurts quality, it's noticeable mostly on DVD records.
Yeah, it definitely does. I output the YouTube upload to a different codec so it would only be 8 GB and not take so long to upload. As well as the fact, like you said, that YouTube worsens the quality as well, so there is no need to upload the full 18.1 GB when it won't really matter
Just to dispel any confusion though, the torrent in this thread is indeed the full quality 18.1 GB blu-ray, not something taken from YouTube. I only put up the lesser quality YouTube video as a reference for others to see/hear what they would be downloading.
