My opinion: good quality is nice for fans, but if your goal is to 
target a large audience, go with the mainstream and post a link 
to YouTube, which can be played everywhere: mobile, tablet, you 
name it.
After all, it's not the Ironman movie, understanding what is 
being said and being able to read the slides is good enough, and 
streaming speed is more important than quality. I mean, what the 
high quality is good for if streaming is laggy and the video is 
not watchable?
