I'm having an issue with the quality of my videos once I upload them to youtube. The first couple videos I uploaded seemed fine, but when I reuploaded some of the same exact mp4 files to youtube a week later to test stuff, the quality of the videos were a bit worse than the first upload. Does anybody know why this is? Thanks.
For example:

you can verify none of these are different between the two:
resolution
bitrate
resampling
file type
to me the quality looks no different. seems you have a brightness/contrast filter on the first one that isnt present in your second screenshot.

edit: re read your post and you are saying they are the exact same files? maybe you didnt let it process enough before taking that screenshot... when you took the screenshots were you viewing the same youtube video resolution?

Videos for youtube are encoded to 2 main formats: h.264 for older devices, and and vp9 for newer devices (or devices powerful enough to software decode). VP9 is a second generation codec (like HEVC/h.265) that has the ability to store videos in much higher quality with a lower bitrate. Only problem is they take much longer to encode. Due to this, Youtube will provide the fastest-processed encode first, then later will switch to the higher quality-lower bitrate encode once it becomes available.
I just wish that when I uploaded 1440p60 videos, "publish as soon as is finished processing" didn't mean "publish as soon as h.264 360p is done."
You can check the codec that is being used by right clicking on a video and selecting "Stats for nerds".

So I noticed on my videos that have worse quality they say "Mime Type: video/mp4; codecs="acv1.64002a" On my videos that have the normal/good quality, they say "Mime Type: video/webm; codecs="vp9""
Something I read:
"Something I noticed with my uploads:
When first uploaded and processed, if I set it to 1080p 60 FPS, then right-click the video and select "Stats for Nerds", I get the following MIME TYPE:
Mime Type: video/mp4; codecs="avc1.64002a"
Throughout the video, there will be many dropped frames, resulting in occasional stutter / judder, which are very obvious to my eyes.
After a few days, I check back on the video again. Suddenly, no more dropped frames and buttery smooth playback. I open the Stats for Nerds panel. The Mime Type had changed to the following:
Mime Type: video/webm; codecs="vp9"
I checked some new uploads of popular youtubers, and the same thing happens on their videos. On recently uploaded videos, the codec will be avc1.64002a and there will be lots of dropped frames. Check back a few days later it's VP9 and no dropped frames. "
I thought waiting about 24 hours would be enough, but basically, the only thing I can do is just wait a few days?
edit: i uploaded a test video 3 days ago and it's still video/mp4; codecs="avc1.64002a"

If people are having issues with dropped frames I doubt that's related to the codec or the encode and it's rather the fault of their computer having issues with the codec for some reason.
Also, it depends on the length and size of the video you uploaded. For me, a 30 minute ~10GB 1440p60 upload will take upwards of 24 hours to finish encoding to full 1440p60 vp9.

I changed this setting "chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode" to disabled and then rewatched my videos and every single one of them looked fine. interesting.

Forgot to ask, is there a way to make youtube encode videos with the video/webm; codecs="vp9" mime type instead of video/mp4; codecs="avc1.64002a
