Though I'd have to run it up to the admins first, as that's technically not official material.

Taking a 1280 by 720 video and stretching it to 1920 by 1080 doesn't produce any additional quality. It's like taking a 240p video and putting it fullscreen, only less extreme. If we have to wait for a 1080p Blu-ray, it's not that big of a deal. I can do a side by side of the compression between YT and Blip's 720p later to see if there's any noticeable difference, but in either case, uploading natively sized 1280 by 720 screenshots of a 720p video is the best option, because you don't introduce any blurring from trying to make the pixels take up more space.
