Concluding

• Streaming is good technique/platform for
  distributing video art
• New codecs make HQ (and all video and film
  formats) possible
• Always save in highest possible quality
  transcode for large scale distribution
• Challenge is not in coding, hosting, streaming,
  but in DRM for distribution
