Wanna see what it looks like when someone uploads and then downloads and againre-uploadsthe same video to YouTube 1000 times.
Looks pretty scary, huh? This is caused from compressing the video over and over again which causes generation loss. This isdefinitelyan extreme case but as this example showsyou need to be careful when compressing your videos, because your losing bits and pieces of data that ultimately effect the video over a series of compressed copies. To avoid this always keep a master copy and don't forget that uncompressed direct copies do not lose quality.
