Just for thought:

Are you loading the videos back from YouTube before putting them in your=20

YouTube runs a normalization/reformatting process on your video before=20
it makes it available for viewing, so it you're comparing a video you=20
uploaded to YouTube and your blog, you're not comparing like things.

Now, if this is using the embed code from YouTube in your blog then=20
you're obviously using the same video :)

I have seen some times when I'm watching a blog video and I get flickers=20

playing. I've not looked in to why that happens (nor have I checked it=20
on a Windows box since I don't have one to hand) but I wonder if it's=20
some sort of buffering issue. Perhaps a difference in the players or the=20
underlying implementation technology.

Not much help, I know, but hopefully a small bit of info that will help=20
you track down what's going on.
