1080p Compression Settings on YouTube

In this video, I used the Canon HF200 to record a video to test YouTube’s new 1080p Quality feature. This was about a minute and a half video which had I rendered it in 720p HD probably would have been less than 80MB in the end. However, after I had rendered this video it was a whopping 254MB. Personally I can’t even tell the difference between 720 and 1080 on YouTube. I will most likely just stick with 720p from now on!
