Generally when you are hosting videos you don’t pick one set of transcoding settings and stick with that. You transcode many many renditions and then serve up the appropriate one depending on the client. It’s quite difficult and expensive in terms of both processing and storage. This is why it is so difficult to unseat the incumbent platforms like YouTube. It’s also why so few people do this on their own.

This way I have an immediate mobile friendly version I can stream from my phone or load up on an ipad without emptying it's storage, even if the quality is markedly lower.
