YouTube and Archive

One thing I have noticed from using YouTube is the ability to see how many people are watching. Archive will show number of downloads but not the number of people who watched the streaming video, which I would assume be a higher number. DVD copies (and older VHS) are kept of all our in-house productions so I don't feel any great need to keep stuff online longer than its intended expiration date. Since YouTube gives the advantage of embedding I may have to rethink my video strategy.
