Picture quality is beyond horrible quality. seriously a _joke_. I suggest firing your FFMPEG coder and hire someone who knows what the heck Deblocking is :o . Sorry to be harsh but you guys obviously have the servers and drive to be succesful...your site is nice looking, pretty well layed out, everything is fine except for the one thing everone is there for.....the videos!!!
Blows my mind, but there seems to be zero deblocking done on your h.263 videos (im guessing encoded with ffmpeg as i was once plagued with the exact same blocks when i tested ffmpeg for fun...).
Audio is fine.
Stream loads fast....a pity when this same low quality could go into a 50mb mp4 and load REAL fast.
I cannot speak for anything higher than what free users see as this is what the majority of users will be viewing, and currently theres no way in hell im paying for premium to check further...the lazines put into the video quality has really turned me away.

Picture quality is lacking but a HUGE step up from h.263 flv. x264 settings could be optimized for higher quality at same encode speeds/filesizesbut thats what people get for not hiring people who know their shit....
Audio is good...i hope mp3 was chosen for compatibility and not simply the easiest thing to do....almost as simple to go with aac which is far better.
Stream is a bit slow, but Duckload has said time and again streaming is not priority and will be fully functional in future.
Megavideo Output : Who cares. Mega owns the world at the moment so even if you call their videos crap it doesnt matter. Sad but true.
