Apple CEO Steve Jobs this week told someone who e-mailed him directly that YouTube would be a better option than Blu-ray at present for sharing HD video. When asked about the possibility of Macs carrying Blu-Ray drives, he said only that "YouTube now supports HD video" and by extension would be a good option for high-quality footage. Google in recent months gave YouTube support for full 1080p video as well as true 720p, which in theory would let HD camcorders get video at full resolution, albeit at a lower bitrate than on Blu-ray.
