As much as I'd prefer to be using my 25gig of SkyDrive storage to share and store my recorded video, the fact is I'm purposely not using SkyDrive due to 2 issues ...

Issue 1: When manually uploading videos from my Nokia Lumia 820 Windows Phone to my SkyDrive that I record in 1080p, they are clearly compressed significantly without my requesting this and even though my Windows Phone SkyDrive settings are set to upload the full versions.

Issue 2: Even when I do manually move a full resolution 720p or 1080p video from my Windows Phone to my desktop then from my desktop to SkyDrive, the video is unwatchable with constant buffering no matter where I watch from -- SkyDrive for web, SkyDrive app on Windows Phone 8, SkyDrive app on Surface RT. The is an issue I never have when watching the same stored HD videos on Flickr or YouTube, so clearly a SkyDrive issue.

I've reported both these issues in the past with no solution given.
