    AFAIK there is no need to re-encode, since Youtube videos are stored and served in chunks anyways. The change is that they are now slipping in the ad chunks as if they were a part of the normal video chunk stream.

      yeah that’s what im saying. Re-encoding and transcoding is completely different, it’s more than likely a served change, rather than a stored change.
