Well after a long research, I've come to a conclusion. I know it sounds stupid, but I'm sure it'll solve people's problems and make them a little happy
Although this may not apply to the mac users. Unfortunately, I don't own a MAC but I'll get to the research soon.
I know you've wondered..
"Why is my video on YouTube so crappy when it plays wonderfully on my comp?"
The answer to your question;
So ever since YouTube has added their High Quality feature, I tried doing some reasearch on how to upload videos that enables the HQ format for YOUR videos. I read somewhere that you have to save the format to 512 kbps broadband. For months I thought that was it. But no, its WRONG.
So I've found a solution. It's easy and simple!
It's as easy as that. I've noticed that your video format has to be in a 4:3 aspect ratio, not 16:9. That should be automatic though. 2.1 mbps is way larger than 512 kb, but it still shouldn't take up much space. Depending on the length of you're video, the upload process will range from a few minutes to a lotta minutes.
I always thought only those movie trailers and such only had this feature, when you, yourself, can have it as well. I didn't know if there was another post or where to post it, but if this is a duplicate please remove.
Enjoy the vids

BTW, Here is my quality comparison:
Jammin w/out High Quality;

Jammin WITH High Quality;

Like Notorious stated, it was a Dramatic difference. Let the vids speak for itself.

Upload video from camera and open video on Windows movie maker (should come with your computer)
When saving your movie file, make sure that instead of choosing 'Best quality for playback for my computer', choose 'other settings
Click on Local playback (2.1) mbps
Save it, watch it, upload on YT!
