I’m only part of the way through the posting of videos on YouTube. There are more to come and I add a few each day. On my website you can view the video on YouTube right on that same page, which is very convenient, or download the video to keep if its on a subject you’re keen on.
Having said that, I’m convinced most people find viewing them as a streaming video the best choice. Especially with the quality we can now achieve. I recall a stat I discovered on SSC a while back. For every 100 views of a slide show, only 14 downloads were made and that’s on an enthusiasts site.
