That's not even close to true, WTF. YouTube 480p has criminally low bitrate, even the crappiest DVDs have better quality.

- CharlesW 2y agoI encourage you to try it. Because I wasn't sure, I already had (using the new 28 Years Later trailer) before I posted. You can use yt-dlp to see that the 480P YouTube version is AV1 at 572 Kbps, which is notably better than a DVD Video-compliant MPEG-2 encode from the highest quality source available.
- codedokode 2y agoWikipedia say that "Typically, the data rate for DVD movies ranges from 3 to 9.5 Mbit/s" [1] which is much more than 572 Kbit/s. The Youtube quality issues are easy to spot on highly dynamic clips (with fireworks, flashing lights etc). [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video
